f(x)=x24x23

Explanation:

If a function has the root a+b, it must also have the root ab.

So, this function actually has the roots 2+33 and 233. Since these are roots, when x takes on these values, f(x)=0. Thus, each factor of the polynomial will be xthe root.

f(x)=(x(2+33))(x(233))

f(x)=(x233)(x2+33)

f(x)=(x2)2+(33)(33)

f(x)=x24x+427

f(x)=x24x23
