Find an nth degree polynomial function with real coefficients satisfying the given conditions. n=3;-4 and i are zeros;f(-3)=60
----
Comment: -i is also a zero.
----
f(x) = a(x-3)(x+4)(x-i)(x+i)
f(x) = a(x-3)(x+4)(x^2+1)
----
Since f(-3) = 60
60 = a(-6)(1)(10)
60 = a(-60)
a = -1
-------------------
Equation:
f(x) = -(x-3)(x+4)(x^2+1)
