Edexcel A-Level Mathematics AS Fp1 1 3 Argand Diagrams and Complex Operations Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

In this question you must show all stages of your working. Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.

f(z)=4z3+pz2−24z+108\mathrm{f}(z)=4 z^{3}+p z^{2}-24 z+108

where p is a constant.
Given that -3 is a root of the equation f(z)=0

show the roots of f(z)=0 on a single Argand diagram.
