Factoring Polynomials with Complex Numbers

228 Views Asked by At

I have this polynomial that I am trying to simplify in the form $(1-\alpha_1B)(1-\alpha_2B)$

The polynomial is

$(1 - 1.1x + 0.3x^2)$

I know I need to use complex numbers, but I'm not quite sure how.

I know that there are roots at $x = 1.67$ and $x = 2$, but I was hoping to represent it in the form above $(1-\alpha_1B)(1-\alpha_2B)$
