    Complex zeroes always occurs as conjugates.

    For z = a + b i conjugate is: a - b i

    Another zero is : 2 + 3 i.

    Verification:

    2 + 3 i + 3 - 3 i = - b/a

    - b = 4, a = 1

    (2 + 3 i) (2 - 3 i) = c / a

    4 - 9 i² = c / a

    4 + 9 = c / a

    c = 13

    (x^4 - 4 x³ + 14 x² - 4 x + 13) : (x² - 4 x + 13) = x² + 1

    x² + 1 = 0

    x² = - 1, x = i, x = - i

    The zeroes are: - i, i, 2 + 3 i, 2 - 3 i.

    Answer:

    One another zero of f (x) is 2 + 3 i.
