The graph passing through the origin means one root is 0; the polynomial has a factor of x.
A zero of i means a zero of -i. The quadratic factor producing those two roots is
A zero of 4-i means a zero of 4+1. The quadratic factor producing those two roots is
The polynomial is
The constant a is determined by the requirement that p(5) = 520.
The polynomial function is

given:
is a degree
has zeros :
-> complex zeros always come in pair, so you also have
, and also
passes through the origin: point (,)-> 5th root is
use zero product rule:
....substitute given zeros
......since we are given, use it to find
and your equation is

.
As the problem is presented in the post, it is a FAULT,
since the post does not state that the polynomial is with real coefficients.
At the university, where I studied Math, for such formulation the student could deserve only lowest possible score.
It only means that the person who created it, does not know Math and does not know this subject, in particular.
