f(x)=x^3-5x^2+x-5

Explanation:

I have assumed that {5,i,-i} are intended to be the zeros of the function.

In this case, the function can be factored as:
color(white)("XXX")(x-5)((x-i)(x+i)

color(white)("XXX")=(x-5)(x^2-i^2)

color(white)("XXX")=(x-5)(x^2+1)

color(white)("XXX")=x^3+x -5x^x-5

(or in standard polynomial form)
color(white)("XXX")=x^3-5x^2+x-5
