Complex root always come on conjugate pairs.
To have rational coefficients, you need another root with to cancel out the outer and inner terms in the FOIL method.

complex solutions are always in pairs
The solutions are +-sqt(3), +-5i
(x-5i)*(x+5i)*(x-sqrt(3))
0 = (sqrt(3)-x) (x^2+25)
0 = x^3-sqrt(3)x^2+25 x-25sqrt(3)
This only has sqrt(3) and not -sqrt(3) as a zero.
