I think what you are asking is answered by: #x^2 + 1# is a factor of the polynomial.

Explanation:

The zero factor property is a fact about polynomials and polynomial equations. Polynomials don't have "answers", but you're probably asking about a zero or a solution to a polynomial equation.

If we know that #i# and #-i# are zeros of a polynomial, then we know that #(x-i)# and #(x-(-i))# are factors of the polynomial.

So the product #(x-i)(x-(-i))# is also a factor of the polynomial.

#(x-i)(x-(-i)) = (x^2+1)# is a factor of the polynomial.
