For maximum AOB , since 0 AOB and cos is a decreasing

function over 0, , we aim to minimize cos AOB , ie. To minimize

4(i) The other roots is 1 2i

(ii) Since the polynomial has all real coefficients, complex roots must occur
in conjugate pair. The polynomial is of degree 3 so there must be a pair
of complex conjugate roots and one real root.

11 2i a ( 3 4i) b(1 2i) 15 0
(4 3a b) i( 2 4a 2b) 0
Equating real and imaginary parts,
4 3a b 0 or 2 4 a 2b 0
Solving the equations,
a = 1, b = 1

 z 3 z 2 z 15 ( z 2 2 z 5)( z 3) 0
= 3

Alternative method:
Let the real root be .
Sum of roots = (1 + 2i) + ( 1 2i) + = a
2 + = a (1)
Sum of product of 2 roots = (1 + 2i)(1 2i) + (1 + 2i) + (1 2i) = b
5 + 2 = b (2)
Product of roots = (1 + 2i)(1 2i) = 15
5 = 15
= 3
Substitute = 3 into (1) and (2),
a = 1 and b = 1
