You need to check the problem because a quadratic can have at most 2 roots. Are you sure the problem does not say find a "polynomial" equation?

By the fundamental theorem of algebra, an nth degree polynomial cannot have more than n roots.  If it is the case that the question meant polynomial, then an arbitrary polynomial would be:f(x) = (x-2)(x-3)(x+4)Because the function goes to zero at those values of x.
