- 3x^6 - 15x^5 + 30x^4 -84x^33x615x5+30x484x3

Explanation:

-3x^3(x - 2)^2 (x + 7)3x3(x2)2(x+7)

Expand the term (x - 2)^2(x2)2
-3x^3(x^2 -2x + 4) (x + 7)3x3(x22x+4)(x+7)

Multiply (x^2 -2x + 4) (x + 7)(x22x+4)(x+7)
- 3x^3(x^3 - 2x^2 +4x +7x^2- 14x +28)3x3(x32x2+4x+7x214x+28)

Simplify (x^3 +5x^2- 10x + 28)(x3+5x210x+28)
- 3x^3(x^3 +5x^2- 10x + 28)3x3(x3+5x210x+28)

Multiply (x^3 +5x^2- 10x + 28)(x3+5x210x+28) with - 3x^33x3
- 3x^6 - 15x^5 + 30x^4 -84x^33x615x5+30x484x3
