Answer

Finally, we expand the expression further to get the polynomial: \((x^2 + x - 6)(x - 1) = x^3 - x^2 - 7x + 6\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given the roots, we can express the polynomial as \((x - 2)(x + 3)(x - 1)\).

Step 2 :Next we expand the expression: \((x - 2)(x + 3)(x - 1) = (x^2 + x - 6)(x - 1)\).

Step 3 :Finally, we expand the expression further to get the polynomial: \((x^2 + x - 6)(x - 1) = x^3 - x^2 - 7x + 6\).
