The required cubic polynomial is x^3 - 6x^2 - 36x - 6
Consider the zeroes as @, ß and Y.
Then,
@ = 1,
ß = 2, and
Y = 3
Now,
@ + ß + Y = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
@ßY = 1 × 2 × 3 = 6
(@ß + ßY + @Y) = 2 × 6 × 3 = 36
Hence, the required polynomial is
{x^3 - (@ + ß + Y)x^2 + (@ß + ßY + @Y)x - @ßY}
= x^3 - 6x^2 - 36x - 6
