Find the Equation Given the Roots 4 , -3i

$4$ , $- 3 i$

Step 1

Roots are the points where the graph intercepts with the x-axis $(y = 0)$ .

$y = 0$ at the roots

Step 2

The root at $x = 4$ was found by solving for $x$ when $x - (4) = y$ and $y = 0$ .

The factor is $x - 4$

Step 3

The root at $x = - 3 i$ was found by solving for $x$ when $x - (- 3 i) = y$ and $y = 0$ .

The factor is $x + 3 i$

Step 4

The root at $x = 3 i$ was found by solving for $x$ when $x - (3 i) = y$ and $y = 0$ .

The factor is $x - 3 i$

Step 5

Combine all the factors into a single equation.

$y = (x - 4) (x + 3 i) (x - 3 i)$
