Find the Equation Given the Roots 7 , 4-i

$7$ , $4 - i$

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 $x = 7$ was found by solving for $x$ when $x - (7) = y$ and $y = 0$ .

The factor is $x - 7$

Step 3

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

The factor is $x - 4 + i$

Step 4

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

The factor is $x - 4 - i$

Step 5

Combine all the factors into a single equation.

$y = (x - 7) (x - 4 + i) (x - 4 - i)$

Step 6

Multiply all the factors to simplify the equation $y = (x - 7) (x - 4 + i) (x - 4 - i)$ .

Expand $(x - 7) (x - 4 + i)$ by multiplying each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression.
