Answer:
If the polynomial is x2 - 5, then to calculate the zeroes you would write:
x2 - 5 = 0
which leads to
x2 = -5
which yields solutions
x = +/- i√5 where i = √-1
We are to calls these zeroes α and β. So, α = i√5 and β = -i√5.
We now want to form a polynomial with roots 1 + α and 1 + β. This yields the equation,
[x - (1 + α)][x - (1 + β)] = 0
Multiplying we get
x²-(1 + β)x - (1 + α)x + (1 + α)(1 + β) = 0
or
x² - (2 + α + β)x + (1 + α)(1 + β) = 0
or
x²- (2 + i√5 - i√5) + (1 + i√5)(1 - i√5) = 0
or
x² - 2x + 6 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
