Given that the complex number z = -2 + 7i is a root to the equation:
z³ + 6 z² + 61 z + 106 = 0
find the real root to the equation.
Since the complex number is a root of the equation with real coefficients, the conjugate complex number is also a root of the equation. By
Bézout's theorem, divides . It follows that . We conclude that , and hence is a real root of the equation
