Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we use the fact that if a polynomial has rational coefficients, then complex roots appear in conjugate pairs.
Given zeros:
Find the additional zeros:
The zero implies that is also a zero because the complex conjugate of must also be a root.
Thus, the additional zero is:
Correct Answer:
