Cubic Equation 3E246F
1. **Problem Statement:** Find a cubic equation with real coefficients given that two of its roots are $1$ and $3+2i$. Also, state the result being used.
2. **Key Result Used:** If a polynomial has real coefficients and a complex root $a+bi$ (where $b \neq 0$), then its conjugate $a-bi$ is also a root.
3. **Identify Roots:** Given roots are $1$ and $3+2i$. By the conjugate root theorem, the third root must be $3-2i$.
4. **Form the Polynomial:** The cubic polynomial with roots $r_1, r_2, r_3$ is given by
$$
(x - r_1)(x - r_2)(x - r_3) = 0
$$
Substitute roots:
$$
(x - 1)(x - (3+2i))(x - (3-2i)) = 0
$$
5. **Simplify the Complex Factors:** Multiply the complex conjugate factors:
$$
(x - (3+2i))(x - (3-2i)) = \left(x - 3 - 2i\right)\left(x - 3 + 2i\right) = \left(x - 3\right)^2 - (2i)^2 = (x - 3)^2 - (-4) = (x - 3)^2 + 4
$$
6. **Expand:**
$$
(x - 3)^2 + 4 = (x^2 - 6x + 9) + 4 = x^2 - 6x + 13
$$
7. **Final Polynomial:**
$$
(x - 1)(x^2 - 6x + 13) = 0
$$
Expand:
$$
x(x^2 - 6x + 13) - 1(x^2 - 6x + 13) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x - x^2 + 6x - 13 = x^3 - 7x^2 + 19x - 13
$$
8. **Answer:** The cubic equation with real coefficients is
$$
\boxed{x^3 - 7x^2 + 19x - 13 = 0}
$$
