Answer

$f(x)=x^4+3x^3-11x^2+9x+70$

Work Step by Step

A polynomial function with the given zeros could be: $$f(x)=(x-(-5))(x-(-2))(x-(2+\sqrt3i))(x-(2-\sqrt3i))$$ $$f(x)=(x+5)(x+2)(x^2-(2+\sqrt3i)x-(2-\sqrt3i)x-(2+\sqrt3i)(2-\sqrt3i))$$ $$f(x)=(x^2+7x+10)(x^2-2x-\sqrt3 ix-2x+\sqrt3ix-(4-3(-1)))$$ $$f(x)=(x^2+7x+10)(x^2-4x+7)$$ $$f(x)=x^4-4x^3+7x^2+7x^3-28x^2+49x+10x^2-40x+70$$ $$f(x)=x^4+3x^3-11x^2+9x+70$$
