Form a polynomial f(x) with real coefficents having the given degree and zeros degree 5; zeros: 5; -i; -9 +i

f(x)=a

1 answer

recall that complex roots come in conjugate pairs, so the complete factorization is

(x-5)(x+i)(x-i)(x-(-9+i))(x-(-9-i))
(x-5)(x^2+1)((x+9)-i)((x+9)-i)
(x-5)(x^2+1)((x+9)^2+1)
(x-5)(x^2+1)(x^2+18x+82)
x^5+13x^4-7x^3-397x^2-8x-410
