Answer :

2-i. Complex roots always come in pairs (complex conjugates)
ANSWER

One other root of this polynomial is
[tex]2 - i[/tex]


EXPLANATION


One property of the complex root of a polynomial is the conjugate root property.


If one root of a polynomial is
[tex]a + bi[/tex]
then the conjugate is also a root of this polynomial.

The conjugate of
[tex]a + bi[/tex]
is
[tex]a - bi[/tex]

Also the conjugate of
[tex]a - bi[/tex]

is
[tex]a + bi[/tex]



Therefore if
[tex]2 - i[/tex]
is a root of the polynomial, then its complex conjugate
[tex]2 + i[/tex]
is also a root of that polynomial.

The same applies to purely imaginary complex roots too.

Thus, if
[tex]bi[/tex]
is a root then its conjugate
[tex] - bi[/tex]
is also a root.
