Graphing Functions with 'i'

[yellowmonster572]

Is there a way to graph an function like p(x)=x^3+(-7-6i)*x^2+(7+30i)*x+15-36i? If not, can someone give me a link to a site that can help me understand why not? (I have to write a paper on it)

On the complex plane, you mean...?

I have to write a paper on it

Try studying complex numbers, complex-valued functions, the modulus of a complex number, and domain coloring.

Note: Since software for graphing complex functions is available for purchase, it seems safe to assume that such graphing is possible. :wink:
