Q. 119119 is a root of f(x)=x2+14,161f(x) = x^2 + 14,161. Find the other roots of f(x)f(x).\newlineWrite your answer as a list of simplified values separated by commas, if there is more than one value.
  1. Write as x119x - 119: Since 119119 is a root, we can write it as x119=0x - 119 = 0. Now we need to find the other root by factoring the polynomial.\newlinef(x)=x2+14,161f(x) = x^2 + 14,161 can be rewritten as f(x)=(x119)(xa)f(x) = (x - 119)(x - a) where aa is the other root we need to find.
  2. Find other root: To find the value of aa, we expand the factored form and compare coefficients.(x119)(xa)=x2(119+a)x+119a(x - 119)(x - a) = x^2 - (119 + a)x + 119aThe constant term in the polynomial f(x)f(x) is 14,16114,161, so we set 119a119a equal to 14,16114,161.
  3. Expand and compare coefficients: Solving for 'a', we divide 14,16114,161 by 119119. \newlinea=14,161119a = \frac{14,161}{119}\newlinea=119a = 119
