If " 2 i " is a root of f(z)=z^4+z^3+2 z^2+4 z-8=0 , then which among the following cannot be a root of f(z)=0 ?
Options
- A-2 i
- B1
- C–2
- D2
Correct answer
D. 2
Step-by-step solution
It is given that, f(z)=z^4+z^3+2 z^2+4 z-8 have a root 2 i , so one more root will be -2 i , so (z^2+4 ) is the factor of z^4+z^3+2 z^2+4 z-8 . So, z^4+z^3+2 z^2+4 z-8 = (z^2+4 ) (z^2+z-2 ) and z^2+z-2=(z+2)(z-1) Therefore, the roots of f(z) are 2 i,-2 i,-2 and 1 .
