Write the polynomial equation of degree 3 with roots 3-2i and -1, given that the polynomial passes through the point (1,32).
---------
3+2i is also a root.
--> f(x) = (x+1)*(x-3-2i)*(x-3+2i) = (x+1)*(x^2 -6x + 13) = x^3 - 5x^2 + 7x + 13
f(1) = 16 --> Multiply by 2
============
P(x) = 2x^3 - 10x^2 + 14x + 26
