Thread: Need help with constructing a polynomial

The problem is as follows:

Construct a polynomial function, reducing all fractions to lowest terms.

Third-degree, with zeros of 1-i, 1+i, and 4, and a leading cofficient of -5.

Any ideas? My book has absolutely no help on this particular type of problem, and I cannot figure it out - I don't even know how to begin...

Thank you in advance for any help...
