Explanation:
given the zeros of a polynomial, say
x=a,x=b and x=c
then (x−a),(x−b) and (x−c) are the factors
and the polynomial is the product of the factors
f(x)=a(x−a)(x−b)(x−c)←a is a multiplier
here x=5,x=4i and x=−4i are the zeros
⇒(x−5),(x−4i),(x+4i) are the factors
f(x)=a(x−5)(x−4i)(x+4i)
let a=1
⇒f(x)=(x−5)(x2+16)
⇒f(x)=x3−5x2+16x−80←possible polynomial
