Let us consider the cubic polynomial is ax3 + bx2 + cx + d and the values of the zeroes of the polynomials be α, β, γ.
As per the given question,
α+β+γ = -b/a = 2/1
αβ +βγ+γα = c/a = -7/1
α βγ = -d/a = -14/1
Thus, from above three expressions we get the values of coefficient of polynomial.
a = 1, b = -2, c = -7, d = 14
Hence, the cubic polynomial is x3-2x2-7x+14
