f(z)=z4−6z3+az2−44z+b
其中 a 和 b 是实常数。
已知 −1−3i 是方程 f(z)=0 的一个根
(a) 写出该方程的另一个复数根。

(b) 由此求方程 f(z)=0 的其他根。

多项式的系数都是实数,因此非实复根必成共轭对出现。

Since f(z) has real coefficients, the complex conjugate of −1−3i is also a root. Hence another root is
−1+3i.
(b)

承接 (a),先由一对共轭根组成实系数二次因式。再把剩余因式设为首一二次式,通过比较 z3 项与 z 项的系数求出它,最后解该二次方程。

Using the conjugate roots from part (a), their quadratic factor is
D(z)==(z+1)2+9z2+2z+10.
Equivalently, this follows from multiplying the factors z+1+3i and z+1−3i. For some real constants c and d,
f(z)=D(z)(z2+cz+d).
Comparing the coefficients of z3 gives
c+2=−6,
so c=−8. Comparing the coefficients of z then gives
2d+10c=−44.
Hence
2d−80=−44,
so d=18. Thus
f(z)=D(z)(z2−8z+18).
The remaining roots satisfy
z2−8z+18=0.
Therefore,
z===28±64−7228±−84±2i.
Hence the other roots are
z1=z2=4+2i,4−2i.

也可以使用多项式长除法。用 (a) 得到的二次因式直接除原四次式;余式必须为零,这会同时确定未知系数,并给出剩余二次因式。

From part (a), let D(z)=z2+2z+10. The first quotient term is z2. Subtracting z2D(z) leaves
R1(z)=−8z3+(a−10)z2−44z+b.
The next quotient term is −8z. Subtracting −8zD(z) from R1(z) leaves
R2(z)=(a+6)z2+36z+b.
The final quotient term is a+6. Subtracting (a+6)D(z) gives the remainder
R(z)=(24−2a)z+b−10a−60.
Since D(z) is a factor, R(z) is identically zero. Thus
24−2a=b−10a−60=0,0,
so a=12 and b=180. The quotient is therefore
=z2−8z+(a+6)z2−8z+18.
Hence the remaining quadratic factor is
z2−8z+18.
Solving it,
z2−8z+18=(z−4)2+2=(z−4)2=00−2.
Therefore, the other roots are
z=4±2i.
