i need help with this question :Find a polynomial function of lowest degree with rational coefficients that has the given numbers as some of its zeros.\r

\r\n" );
document.write( "1. If the polynomial with rational coefficients has the root  \"sqrt%282%29\",  it also has the root \"-sqrt%282%29\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2. If the polynomial with real coefficients has the root 5i, it also has the complex conjugated root  -5i.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3. So, your polynomial must have the roots \"sqrt%282%29\",  \"-sqrt%282%29\",  5i  and  -5i.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "4. If so, it must be divisible by the product \"%28x-sqrt%282%29%29%2A%28x-%28-sqrt%282%29%29%29%2A%28x-5i%29%2A%28x-%28-5i%29%29\" = \"%28x-sqrt%282%29%29%2A%28x%2Bsqrt%282%29%29%2A%28x-5i%29%2A%28x%2B5i%29%29\" = \"%28x%5E2+-2%29%2A%28x%5E2+%2B+25%29\" .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5. If you are looking for the polynomial of lowest degree with such properties,\r\n" );
document.write( "   it is exactly THIS polynomial f(x) = \"%28x%5E2+-2%29%2A%28x%5E2+%2B+25%29\".\r\n" );
