From the Complex Conjugate Zeros Theorem:
If “i” is a zero of the polynomial Q(x) with real coefficients, its conjugate “-i” is also a zero of Q (x)
From the factor theorem:
If 0 is a zero of Q (x) the expression (x – 0) is a factor of Q (x).
If “i” is a zero of Q (x) the expression (x – i) is a factor of Q (x).
If “-i” is a zero of Q (x) the expression (x + i) is a factor of Q (x).
The polynomial function Q (x) is defined as:
Qx=x0xix+i
[apply the difference of squares identity: a2b2=a-ba+b]
Qx=xx2i2
Qx=xx2+1
Qx=x3+x

Q(x)=x^2(x-i)(x+i)
