Chapter 3 - Section 3.5 - Complex Zeros and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra - 3.5 Exercises - Page 293: 21

Answer

Zeros, each multiplicity 1: $1+i, 1-i$ Factorization: $P(x)=(x-1-i)(x+1+i)$

Work Step by Step

$x^{2}+2x+2=0$ Quadratic formula: $x=\displaystyle \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a},\quad a=1, b=2, c=1$ $x=\displaystyle \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-4(1)(2)}}{2(1)}=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{-4}}{2}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{-2\pm 2i}{2}=\frac{2(-1\pm i)}{2}=-1\pm i$ Zeros, each multiplicity 1: $1+i, 1-i$ Factorization:$ 1[x-(1+i)][x-(1-i)]=$ $P(x)=(x-1-i)(x+1+i)$
