    For zeroes/roots r1, r2, r3

    the facors of the polynomial is

    (x-r1) (x-r2) (x-r3)

    roots

    -3,2,5

    (x - (-3)) (x-2) (x-5)

    (x+3) (x-2) (x-5)

    the coefient of the x term is - 4

    so mutliply the whole thing by 2

    (2) (x+3) (x-2) (x-5)

    expand

    f (x) = 2x^3-8x^2-22x+60
