Two Mini-Pollies (Posted on 2024-08-15) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The 'minimal polynomial' of a number z is the f(x) of smallest degree with integer coefficients having z as a root.
For example the minimal polynomial for z = √3 is f(x) = x2 - 3.

Determine the minimal polynomials of:

A) z = √5 + 3√2
B) z = tan18o.
