7. $$f ( x ) = x ^ { 4 } - 3 x ^ { 3 } - 15 x ^ { 2 } + 99 x - 130$$
  1. Given that \(x = 3 + 2 \mathrm { i }\) is a root of the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\), use algebra to find the three other roots of the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\)
  2. Show the four roots of \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\) on a single Argand diagram.
