n=3; 2 and 4i are zeros; f (-1)= -102
------
If you want a polynomial with Real Number coefficients, -4i is also a zero.
------------------------------------------
f(x) = a(x-2)(x-4i)(x+4i)
-----
f(x) = a(x-2)(x^2+16)
----
Use f(-1) = -102 to find "a"::
f(-1) = a(-3)(1+16) = -102
-----
-51a = -102
a = 2
-------
Ans: f(x) = 2(x-2)(x^2+16)
