Verified Answer :

2-i. Complex roots always come in pairs (complex conjugates)

ANSWER

One other root of this polynomial is
\(2 - i\)


EXPLANATION


One property of the complex root of a polynomial is the conjugate root property.


If one root of a polynomial is
\(a + bi\)
then the conjugate is also a root of this polynomial.

The conjugate of
\(a + bi\)
is
\(a - bi\)

Also the conjugate of
\(a - bi\)

is
\(a + bi\)



Therefore if
\(2 - i\)
is a root of the polynomial, then its complex conjugate
\(2 + i\)
is also a root of that polynomial.

The same applies to purely imaginary complex roots too.

Thus, if
\(bi\)
is a root then its conjugate
\(- bi\)
is also a root.
