Find an​ nth-degree polynomial function with real coefficients satisfying the given conditions. If you are using a graphing​ utility, use it to graph the function and verify the real zeros and the given function value.
n=3;
-3 and 3+5i are zeros;
f (1) = 116
----
Since the coefficients are Real Numbers 3-5i is also a zero.
----
f(x) = a(x+3)(x-3-5i)(x-3+5i)
f(x) = a(x+3)[(x-3)^2-(25i^2)]
f(x) = a(x+3)(x^2-6x+9+625)
----
Solve for "a"::
116 = a(1+3)(1-6+634)
116 = a(4)(629)
a = 0.046
----
f(x) = 0.46(x+3)(x^2-6x+634)

IGNORE STANBON'S answer.


a = 1, so we get:

The non-real zeros come in conjugate pairs; so the 3 roots are -3, 3+5i,and 3-5i. Then the polynomial is






To determine the value of the leading coefficient a, use the given fact that f(1)=116:




So the leading coefficient is 1, and the polynomial is found by performing the indicated multiplication.
