The correct question is:

    How to find a polynomial with integer coefficients, having the roots 0, 2- sqrt(3) and 3 ?

Such a polynomial together with the root 2-sqrt(3), must have the root 2+sqrt(3), too.
So, the polynomial must have factors
     x                 for the root 0;

     (x-(2-sqrt(3)))   for the root  (2-sqrt(3));

     (x-(2+sqrt(3)))   for the root  (2+sqrt(3));

     (x-3)             for the root 3.

Thus the polynomial must be a multiple to

     p(x) = x*(x(x-(2-sqrt(3)))((x-(2+sqrt(3)))*(x-3)

You may write it in more convenient form.

You have the product of
:
x(x-3)(x-2+square root(3))
:
Note that -2+square root(3) = -0.2679 is approximately -0.27
:
Therefore,
:
x(x-3)(x-0.27)
:
x(x^2 -3.27x +81)
:
x^3 -3.27x^2 +81x
