Question: f(x) is a third degree polynomial with lead coefficient -1 and zeros at 1, 3, and -5. Write f(x) in complete factored form, and describe

f(x) is a third degree polynomial with lead coefficient -1 and zeros at 1, 3, and -5.

Write f(x) in complete factored form, and describe the end behavior of f(x).

(I'm thinking it's -1x3 + 1x2 + 3x - 5 = 0 , with three possible solutions....? if that isn't correct, could you please provide an explanation on how the correct factored form is resulted?)
