    f (x) = 4x³+16x²+4x-24

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Factors are (x+3) (x+2) (x-1)

    (x+3) (x²+2x-x-2)

    (x+3) (x²+x-2)

    x³+x²-2x+3x²+3x-6

    x³+4x²+x-6

    This could have been the function but the intetcept is 6 here.

    So we'll take a miltiple of this one such that the intercept becomes-24

    -24/-6 = 4

    That multiple is 4

    f (x) = 4 (x³+4x²+x-6)

    f (x) = 4x³+16x²+4x-24
