已知 x=2+3i 是方程
2x4−8x3+29x2−12x+39=0
的一个根,
(a) 写出该方程的另一个复根。
(b) 用代数方法确定方程的另外两个根。
(c) 在同一幅 Argand 图上画出所有 4 个根。
解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
多项式的系数全为实数,因此非实复根必成共轭对出现。把 2+3i 的虚部变号即可。
答题过程
展开
Since the polynomial has real coefficients, complex roots occur in conjugate pairs. Therefore another root is
2−3i.
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
先把共轭复根对应的两个一次因式相乘,得到实系数二次因式。再用多项式除法从原四次式中除去该因式,最后解余下的二次方程,并保持精确形式。

The two known roots give the factor
===(x−(2+3i))(x−(2−3i))(x−2−3i)(x−2+3i)(x−2)2+9x2−4x+13.
Dividing the polynomial by this factor,
===2x4−8x3+29x2−12x+392x2(x2−4x+13)+(3x2−12x+39)2x2(x2−4x+13)+3(x2−4x+13)(x2−4x+13)(2x2+3).
Hence the other roots satisfy
2x2+3=0.
Thus
x2=−23,
so the other two roots are
x=26iandx=−26i.
解法二
思路
展开
官方评分资料也允许先用两根的和与积构造二次因式,再设另一个二次因式的待定系数。展开并比较系数,可以不写多项式长除法而得到相同的剩余因式。

The sum and product of the two known roots are
(2+3i)+(2−3i)=4
and
(2+3i)(2−3i)=13.
Therefore their quadratic factor is
x2−4x+13.
Let
=2x4−8x3+29x2−12x+39(x2−4x+13)(2x2+px+q).
Comparing the coefficients of x3 and the constant terms gives
p−8=−8
and
13q=39.
Hence p=0 and q=3. The remaining coefficients also agree, since
q−4p+26=29
and
−4q+13p=−12.
Thus the remaining factor is 2x2+3. Therefore,
x=26iandx=−26i.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
在 Argand 图中,横坐标是实部,纵坐标是虚部。两根 2±3i 位于直线 Re(z)=2 上;另两根为纯虚数,位于虚轴上,并且关于实轴成对称分布。
