I have been tasked with finding the just real coefficients of a polynomial with the roots:



$z_0=10$



$z_1=3-i$



$z_2=-8+2i$



Writing the polynomial as factors...



$(z-10)(z-3+i)(z+8-2i)$



..obviously does not work since this results in complex coefficients.



Can anyone help me out here?

There is not enough information, say the degree of a given polynomial.



Anyway, since it has (only) real coeficients if $a+bi$ is one root, then $a-bi$ is also a root of the polynomial.



So this polynomial is divisible with:



$$q(z)=(z-10)colorred(z-3+i)(z-3-i)colorblue(z+8-2i)(z+8+2i) $$
$$= (z-10)(z^2-6z+10)(z^2+16z+68)$$

Polynomial with only real coefficients is
$$( z-10) , ( z-2i+8),(z+2 i+8) , ( z-i-3) , ( z+i-3)\=
z^5-118 z^3-68 z^2+3160 z-6800
