Step 1
Given:
The zeros of the polynomial 3-i, i and 2
Step 2
The complex roots occur in pair, so conjugate of 3-i and i also be the zeros of the same polynomial
So, the polynomial has zeros: 3-i, 3+i, i , -i and 2
If are the zeros of the polynomial then the polynomial in factored form is written as:
Where a is the leading coefficient since the given polynomial is monic so the leading coefficient is 1.
Simplifying we get
Therefore, the required monic polynomial is
