Factor the polynomial function over the complex numbersf(x)=x^4+9x^3+15x^2+9x+14

Sagot :

The polynomial function over the complex numbers is,

(x + 1i) ( x - 1i) (x+ 7) ( x + 2).

What is factoring a polynomial?

Factorization of polynomials, also known as polynomial factorization, is a mathematical and computer algebraic technique that combines irreducible factors with coefficients in the same domain to produce a polynomial with coefficients in a given field or in integers.

Consider, the given polynomial

f(x) = x^4 + 9x^3 + 15x^2 + 9x + 14

We can use a factoring "trick" here....write this as

x^4 +  9x^3 + 14x^2  + x^2  + 9x  + 14 = 0    factor by grouping

x^2 ( x^2 + 9x + 14)  +  1 ( x^2 + 9x + 14) = 0

(x^2 + 1) (x^2 + 9x + 14) = 0

(x^2 + 1) (x^2 + 9x + 14) = 0

⇒ (x^2 + 1) = 0,  (x^2 + 9x + 14) = 0

x^2 = -1,          x^2 + 7x + 2x + 14 = 0

x = ±i ,              x(x + 7) + 2(x + 7) = 0

x = ±i ,              (x + 7)(x + 2) = 0

⇒ (x + i)(x - i)(x + 7)(x - 7) = 0

(x + 1i) ( x - 1i) (x+ 7) ( x + 2) = 0

Hence, the polynomial function over the complex numbers is,

(x + 1i) ( x - 1i) (x+ 7) ( x + 2).
