$- 125 i$

Step 1

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

$y = 0$ at the roots

Step 2

The root at $x = - 125 i$ was found by solving for $x$ when $x - (- 125 i) = y$ and $y = 0$ .

The factor is $x + 125 i$

Step 3

The root at $x = 125 i$ was found by solving for $x$ when $x - (125 i) = y$ and $y = 0$ .

The factor is $x - 125 i$

Step 4

Combine all the factors into a single equation.

$y = (x + 125 i) (x - 125 i)$

Step 5

Multiply all the factors to simplify the equation $y = (x + 125 i) (x - 125 i)$ .

$y = x^{2} - 15625 (i i)$

Step 5.2.2.2.4

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$y = x^{2} - 15625 i^{1 + 1}$

Step 5.2.2.2.5

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$y = x^{2} - 15625 i^{2}$

Step 5.2.2.3

Rewrite $i^{2}$ as $- 1$ .

$y = x^{2} - 15625 \cdot - 1$

Step 5.2.2.4

Multiply $- 15625$ by $- 1$ .

$y = x^{2} + 15625$
