Answer:

  f(x) = (x +3)(x +1)(x -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When 'a' is a zero of a polynomial function in x, the binomial (x -a) is a factor of the polynomial.

__

The three zeros give rise to a polynomial with three factors:

  f(x) = (x -(-3)) · (x -(-1)) · (x -2)

  f(x) = (x +3)(x +1)(x -2) . . . . . your cubic function

__

This can be expanded using the distributive property.

  f(x) = (x² +4x +3)(x -2) = x³ +4x² +3x -2x² -8x -6

  f(x) = x³ +2x² -5x -6 . . . . . standard form
