f(x)=x35x2+16x80

Explanation:

given the zeros of a polynomial, say

x=a,x=b and x=c

then (xa),(xb) and (xc) are the factors

and the polynomial is the product of the factors

f(x)=a(xa)(xb)(xc)a is a multiplier

here x=5,x=4i and x=4i are the zeros

(x5),(x4i),(x+4i) are the factors

f(x)=a(x5)(x4i)(x+4i)

let a=1

f(x)=(x5)(x2+16)

f(x)=x35x2+16x80possible polynomial
