If negative 3 plus i is a root of the polynomial function f of x , which of the following must also be a root of f of x ?

For a polynomial with real coefficients, any nonreal complex root must occur with its complex conjugate. The conjugate of −3 + i is −3 − i, so that value must also be a root. The correct choice is negative 3 minus i.
