A physics student models the vertical displacement of a bouncing mechanical component with a polynomial P(t)=at3+bt2+ct+dP(t) = at^3 + bt^2 + ct + d. The component reaches equilibrium (displacement 0) at t=1t=1, t=2t=2, and t=3t=3 seconds. If the initial displacement at t=0t=0 is 1212 cm, what is the displacement of the component at t=4t=4 seconds?
