Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
x=4
x-4=0 is a factor
x=2i
x^2=-4
x+4 is another factor
multiply the factors with an unknown constant "a"
f(x) = a(x-4)(x^2 + 4)
f(1)=-15 = a(-3)(5)
a= -15/-15 = 1
f(x)= x^3 -4x^2 +4x =16
n=3
or for n>3
just put in some integer exponents on each factor, m and p
f(x)= a(x-4)^m(x^2+4)^p
where m+2^p=n>3
and recalculate a
