let's bear in mind that a complex root never comes all by her lonesome, her sibling is always with her, the conjugate, so if 3 - i is there, 3 + i is also coming along, likewise if 0 + 4i is there, her sibling 0 - 4i is also there.

$\bf \begin{cases} x=3-i\implies &x-3+i=0\\ x=3+i\implies &x-3-i=0\\ x=4i\implies &x-4i=0\\ x=-4i\implies &x+4i=0 \end{cases}\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (x-3+i)(x-3-i)(x-4i)(x+4i)=\stackrel{y}{0} \\[2em] \underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{[(x-3)+i][(x-3)-i]}\underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{[x-4i][x+4i]}=0$

$\bf [(x-3)^2-i^2][x^2-(4i)^2]=y\implies [(x-3)^2-(-1)][x^2-(4^2i^2)]=0 \\[2em] [(x-3)^2-(-1)][x^2-(16(-1))]=0\implies [(x-3)^2+1][x^2+16]=0 \\[2em] [(x^2-6x+9)+1][x^2+16]=y\implies (x^2-6x+10)(x^2+16)=0 \\\\\\ x^4-6x^3+10x^2+16x^2-96x+160=0 \\\\\\ x^4-6x^3+26x^2-96x+160=0 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by 4}}{4(x^4-6x^3+26x^2-96x+160)=4(0)} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill 4x^4-24x^3+104x^2-384x+640=y~\hfill$
