  1. Let, p(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d be a cubic polynomial whose zeroes taken two at a time, and the product of its zeroes as 2, -7, -14 respectively.
    Given that,
    α + β + γ = 2
    αβ + βγ + γα = -7
    αβγ = -14
    We know that,
    α + β + γ = -(Cofficient of x²)/(Cofficient of x³)
    αβ + βγ + γα = (Cofficient of x)/(Cofficient of x³)
    αβγ = -(Constant term)/Cofficient of x³)
    Therefore,
    α + β + γ = -(Cofficient of x²)/(Cofficient of x³) = (-b)/a = 2/1
    αβ + βγ + γα = (Cofficient of x)/(Cofficient of x³) = c/a = (-7)/1
    αβγ = -(Constant term)/Cofficient of x³) = (-d)/a = (-14)/1
    On comparing, a = 1, b = -2, c = -7 and d = 14
    Hence, the required cubic polynomial is p(x) = x³ – 2x² – 7x + 14.
