The two complex roots with imaginary components require two additional complex roots, the conjugates.

Along with (x-2), (x-(2+i)) makes (x-(2-i)) also necessary.
(x-(1-i)) makes (x-(1+i)) also necessary.

The complex pairs can be turned into quadratic factors this way:
;
.

A function with the five expected roots may be
.

Your next objective was to use that function as a starting relation to find a function to the degree 5 (?) which contains the point (0, -60). You may possibly need a constant factor with the polynomial to be able to have the function value equal to -60. Letting x=0 is simple; do this and then carry out the remaining multiplications.

, where k is some constant factor in case the original factors do not give -60.
By intent, I have not finished this work but it should be very easy.
