To write: A polynomial function f of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1 and the given zeros.
The required polynomial function would be f(x)=x4−10x3+32x2−92x+60 .
Given information:
Zeros of a function: 1+3i, 4+√10 .
Formula used:
- Factor Theorem: If x=a, b, c are zeros of the function f(x) , then (x−a), (x−b) and (x−c) would be factors of the function.
- Complex Conjugate Theorem: If f is a polynomial function with real coefficients, and (a+bi) is an imaginary zero of f , then (a−bi) is also a zero of f .
- Irrational conjugates Theorem: Suppose f is a polynomial function with real coefficients, and a and b are rational numbers such that √b is irrational. If a+√b is a zero of f , then a+√b is also a zero of f .
Calculation:
For the given problem, there are 2 zeros. As per irrational conjugate theorem and complex conjugate theorem, the other zeros would be 1−3i, 4−√10 .
Using the factor theorem, the factored form of f
would be:
f(x)=(x−(1−3i))(x−(1+3i))(x−(4+√10))(x−(4−√10))=(x−1+3i)(x−1−3i)(x−4−√10)(x−4+√10)
Now expand the factors using the difference of squares (a−b)(a+b)=a2−b2:
f(x)=(x−1+3i)(x−1−3i)(x−4−√10)(x−4+√10)=((x−1)2−(3i)2)((x−4)2−(√10)2)=((x−1)2−9i2)((x−4)2−10)=((x−1)2+9)((x−4)2−10)(Using identity −i2=1)=(x2−2x+1+9)(x2−8x+16−10)(Using rule (a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2)=(x2−2x+10)(x2−8x+6)=x2(x2−8x+6)−2x(x2−8x+6)+10(x2−8x+6) (Using distributive property)=x4−8x3+6x2−2x3+16x2−12x+10x2−80x+60=x4−10x3+32x2−92x+60
Therefore, the required function would be f(x)=x4−10x3+32x2−92x+60 .
