1. Apply the conjugate root theorem to identify the third root.
Since the coefficients a, b, and c are integer constants (and thus real), the complex roots of the polynomial must occur in conjugate pairs.
Given the root z1=3ei(−32π), the third root must be its complex conjugate:
z2=3ei(32π)
2. Form the quadratic factor corresponding to the complex conjugate roots.
The sum of the conjugate roots is:
3ei(−32π)+3ei(32π)=3(2cos(32π))=6(−21)=−3
The product of the conjugate roots is:
(3ei(−32π))(3ei(32π))=9e0=9
Thus, the quadratic factor formed by these roots is z2−(sum)z+(product):
z2−(−3)z+9=z2+3z+9
3. Multiply the quadratic factor by the linear factor of the real root to find $a, b,$ and $c$.
Since −2 is also a root, (z−(−2))=(z+2) is a factor of the cubic polynomial. We can express the equation as:
(z+2)(z2+3z+9)=0
Expanding this expression:
z(z2+3z+9)+2(z2+3z+9)=0
z3+3z2+9z+2z2+6z+18=0
z3+5z2+15z+18=0
By comparing coefficients with z3+az2+bz+c=0, we find:
a=5,b=15,c=18
答案a=5, b=15, c=18
