write in factored form: P(x)=3x^5−2x^4+64x^3−40x^2−275x+250 and that 5i is a zero

Given P(x)=3x^5−2x^4+64x^3−40x^2−275x+250 and that 5i is a zero, write P in factored form as a product of linear factors.

It is OK to fail, but don't give up.

Abdulaziz, I take the liberty of editing your paragraph:
 
the first three roots are real and the last one has two are imaginary. Complex roots occur in conjugate pairs.
 
roots in it due to the fast that id u take a square root of a number, u should consider both possibilities of the outcome that is positive or negative.
 
Hence five roots for a fifth degree polynomial.
