This is the first time I see this kind of problem, so it might be trivial but I am just not used to it.
What are the roots of $x^3-6ix^2-11x+6i$
I am not sure If I should ignore the imaginary numbers and simply compute the polynomial or factor the imaginary part out separately.
I tried to use the rational polynomial root test but it has no rational roots when I ignore the Imaginary coefficients.
When I factor them out as $x^3-11x-i(6x^2-6)$ I get $i$ and $-i$ as a root which is definitely wrong.
All I ask for here is to provide me advice on what method should I use to solve this type of problems. Thanks in advance.
Answer
Hint:
$x=iy$
Now if $f(y)=y^3-6y^2+11y-6$
$f(1)=?$
