TopicRoots of polynomials

3. $$f ( z ) = z ^ { 4 } + a z ^ { 3 } + b z ^ { 2 } + c z + d$$ where \(a , b , c\) and \(d\) are integers.
The complex numbers \(3 + \mathrm { i }\) and \(- 1 - 2 \mathrm { i }\) are roots of the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { z } ) = 0\)
  1. Write down the other roots of this equation.
  2. Show all the roots of the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { z } ) = 0\) on a single Argand diagram.
  3. Determine the values of \(a , b , c\) and \(d\).
