Find an nth-degree polynomial function with real coefficients satisfying the given conditions. If you are using a graphing utility, use it to graph the function and verify the real zeros and the given function value. n=3; -5 and 4+3i are zeros; f(2) = 91

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the given zeros of the polynomial. Since the polynomial has real coefficients and one zero is complex (4 + 3i), its complex conjugate (4 - 3i) must also be a zero. So, the zeros are -5, 4 + 3i, and 4 - 3i.
Write the factors corresponding to each zero. For zero -5, the factor is \((x + 5)\). For zeros \(4 + 3i\) and \(4 - 3i\), the factors are \((x - (4 + 3i))\) and \((x - (4 - 3i))\) respectively.
Multiply the complex conjugate factors to get a quadratic factor with real coefficients: \[(x - (4 + 3i))(x - (4 - 3i)) = (x - 4 - 3i)(x - 4 + 3i)\] Use the difference of squares formula to simplify this product.
Express the polynomial function as \(f(x) = a(x + 5)(x^2 - 8x + 25)\), where \(a\) is a real number constant to be determined.
Use the given function value \(f(2) = 91\) to find \(a\). Substitute \(x = 2\) into the polynomial and set the expression equal to 91, then solve for \(a\).

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Polynomial Zeros and Complex Conjugates

For polynomials with real coefficients, non-real zeros always come in conjugate pairs. Given a zero like 4 + 3i, its conjugate 4 - 3i must also be a zero. This ensures the polynomial remains with real coefficients when expanded.

Constructing a Polynomial from Zeros

A polynomial can be formed by multiplying factors corresponding to its zeros. For zeros r1, r2, and r3, the polynomial is f(x) = a(x - r1)(x - r2)(x - r3), where 'a' is a leading coefficient determined by additional conditions.
