if 3+5i is a zero, then 3-5i is another zero
x = 3+5i
x-3 = 5i
x^2 -6x +9 = -25
x^2 -6x +34 is a factor
another factor is x+4
multiply the factors together
(x+4)(x^2-6x+34)
= x^3 -2x^2 +10x +136
f(x) =a(x^3-2x^2 +10x +136)
f(-1) = 123 = a(-1 +2 -10 +136) = 127a
a = 123/127
the 3rd degree polynomial with the given zeros is
f(x) = (123/127)(x^3 -23x^2 +10x +136)
