Step 1

Roots are the points where the graph intercepts with the x-axis $(y = 0)$ .

$y = 0$ at the roots

Step 2

The factor is $x + \frac{4}{3}$

Step 3

The root at $x = - 2 i$ was found by solving for $x$ when $x - (- 2 i) = y$ and $y = 0$ .

The factor is $x + 2 i$

Step 4

Step 6.9.1.3

Add $2$ and $1$ .

$y = \frac{3 x^{3} + 3 x \cdot 4 + 4 x^{2} + 4 \cdot 4}{3}$

Step 6.9.2

Multiply $4$ by $3$ .

$y = \frac{3 x^{3} + 12 x + 4 x^{2} + 4 \cdot 4}{3}$

Step 6.9.3

Multiply $4$ by $4$ .

$y = \frac{3 x^{3} + 12 x + 4 x^{2} + 16}{3}$

Step 6.10

Split the fraction $\frac{3 x^{3} + 12 x + 4 x^{2} + 16}{3}$ into two fractions.

$y = \frac{3 x^{3} + 12 x + 4 x^{2}}{3} + \frac{16}{3}$

Step 6.11
