f(x) = (x - 6i)(x - (-2i))

f(x) = (x - 6i)(x + 2i)

f(x) = x² - 6xi + 2xi  - 12i²     (but i² = -1)

f(x) = x² - 6xi + 2xi  + 12

f(x) = x² - 4xi + 12


The polynomial f(x) that satisfies the given conditions are;

f(x) = x² - 6xi + 12

We are told that the zeros of the polynomial are 6i and -2i. This means that the roots of the polynomial are 6i and -2i.

      Now, we know that if we have the roots of a polynomial to be a and b, then it means the polynomial can be expressed in terms of its' factors as;

f(x) = (x - a)(x - b)

Applying the concept of factors above to our given roots and we have;

f(x) = (x - 6i)(x - (-2i)

f(x) =  (x - 6i)(x + 2i)

Multiplying out gives;

f(x) = x² - 6xi + 2xi - 12i²

f(x) = x² - 6xi - 12i²

In complex numbers, i² = -1. Thus, we have;

f(x) = x² - 6xi - 12(-1)

f(x) = x² - 6xi + 12
