Find the Equation Given the Roots -5i , 6

$- 5 i$ , $6$

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 $x = - 5 i$ was found by solving for $x$ when $x - (- 5 i) = y$ and $y = 0$ .

The factor is $x + 5 i$

Step 3

The root at $x = 5 i$ was found by solving for $x$ when $x - (5 i) = y$ and $y = 0$ .

The factor is $x - 5 i$

Step 4

The root at $x = 6$ was found by solving for $x$ when $x - (6) = y$ and $y = 0$ .

The factor is $x - 6$

Step 5

Combine all the factors into a single equation.

$y = (x + 5 i) (x - 5 i) (x - 6)$

Step 6

Multiply all the factors to simplify the equation $y = (x + 5 i) (x - 5 i) (x - 6)$ .

Expand $(x + 5 i) (x - 5 i)$ using the FOIL Method.

Apply the distributive property.

$y = (x (x - 5 i) + 5 i (x - 5 i)) (x - 6)$

Apply the distributive property.

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$y = (x^{2} + 5 i (- 5 i)) (x - 6)$

Multiply $5 i (- 5 i)$ .

Multiply $- 5$ by $5$ .

$y = (x^{2} - 25 i i) (x - 6)$

Raise $i$ to the power of $1$ .

$y = (x^{2} - 25 (i i)) (x - 6)$

Raise $i$ to the power of $1$ .

$y = (x^{2} - 25 (i i)) (x - 6)$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$y = (x^{2} - 25 i^{1 + 1}) (x - 6)$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$y = (x^{2} - 25 i^{2}) (x - 6)$

Rewrite $i^{2}$ as $- 1$ .

$y = (x^{2} - 25 \cdot - 1) (x - 6)$

Multiply $- 25$ by $- 1$ .

$y = (x^{2} + 25) (x - 6)$

Expand $(x^{2} + 25) (x - 6)$ using the FOIL Method.

Apply the distributive property.

$y = x^{2} (x - 6) + 25 (x - 6)$
