The complex number \(1 + (\sqrt{2})i\) is denoted by \(u\). The polynomial \(x^4 + x^2 + 2x + 6\) is denoted by \(p(x)\).

  1. Showing your working, verify that \(u\) is a root of the equation \(p(x) = 0\), and write down a second complex root of the equation. [4]
  2. Find the other two roots of the equation \(p(x) = 0\). [6]
