TopicComplex Numbers Arithmetic
TypeGiven one complex root, find all roots

1. $$\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { z } ) = \mathrm { z } ^ { 3 } + a \mathrm { z } + 52 \quad \text { where } a \text { is a real constant }$$ Given that \(2 - 3 \mathrm { i }\) is a root of the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { z } ) = 0\)
  1. write down the other complex root.
  2. Hence
    1. solve completely \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { z } ) = 0\)
    2. determine the value of \(a\)
  3. Show all the roots of the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { z } ) = 0\) on a single Argand diagram.
