    In order to figure this out, we need to make roots into binomials:

    x = 5, 4i, and - 4i

    This can be written as:

    f (x) = (x - 5) (x + 4i) (x - 4i)

    Let's take care of the imaginary numbers first:

    (x + 4i) (x - 4i)

    x^2 - 4ix + 4ix + 16

    x^2 + 16

    Now we can re-insert this into our problem and solve accordingly:

    f (x) = (x - 5) (x^2 + 16)

    f (x) = x^3 + 16x - 5x^2 - 80

    Now we can rearrange the terms in descending order to obtain our polynomial:

    f (x) = x^3 - 5x^2 + 16x - 80
