Polynomial Operations and Complex Zeros

The video tutorial explains how to find a polynomial function with real coefficients given specific zeros, including complex zeros. It covers the concept of complex conjugates, the relationship between zeros and polynomial factors, and the process of simplifying and multiplying these factors. The tutorial concludes with combining like terms to form the final polynomial equation.
