Answer: P(x)= x³ - 3 x² - 46 x +168

Explanation:

(4,6, -7)

hence the polynomial will be equal to

P(x) = (x-4) (x-6) (x+7)

P(x) = (x-4) (x²+7 x -6 x -42)

P(x) = (x-4) (x²+x -42)

P(x) = x³ + x²-42 x -4 x² -4 x +168

P(x) = x³ - 3 x² - 46 x +168

hence, the required polynomial is P(x) = x³ - 3 x² - 46 x +168

Have a awesome day✨
