Successful implementation of a new system is based on three independent modules. module 1 works properly with probability 0.96. for modules 2 and 3, these probabilities equal 0.95 and 0.90. compute the probability that at least one of these three modules fails to work properly.

Write a polynomial function f of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the given zeros. 3, 4+2i, 1+(sqrt)7 the answer is supposed to be: f(x)=x(^5)-13x(^4)+60x(^3)-82x(^2)-144x+360 what am i doing wrong?
