Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two integers could be -1 and 18.

18 + -1 = 17

Katena32 [7]

Polynomial with real coefficients always has even number of complex roots. We know that one of them is 2 + 5i so the second one will be 2 - 5i and:

$f(x)=\big(x-4\big)\big(x-(-8)\big)\big(x-(2+5i)\big)\big(x-(2-5i)\big)=\\\\=(x-4)(x+8)(x-2-5i)(x-2+5i)=\\\\=(x^2-4x+8x-32)(x^2-2x+5ix-2x+4-10i-5ix+10i-25i^2)\\\\=\big(x^2+4x-32\big)\big(x^2-4x+4-25\cdot(-1)\big)=\\\\=(x^2+4x-32)(x^2-4x+29)=\\\\=x^4-4x^3+29x^2+4x^3-16x^2+116x-32x^2+128x-928=\\\\=\boxed{x^4-19x^2+244x-928}$
