TITLE: How to create a cubic equation that include sums of the roots of another cubic equation
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: The cubic equation
$$y^3 - y^2 - 4y + 3 = 0$$
has real solutions $y_1$, $y_2$, and $y_3$. How do I create another cubic equation with integer coefficients that has solutions: $y_1 + y_2$, $y_1 + y_3$, and $y_2 + y_3$? 
At first glance, it looked as if applying Viète's formulae and symmetric polynomials would be useful, but as I worked through it, I got a bit lost when it came to creating another cubic equation.
I have already solved for the solutions without using Viète's formulae and they are all irrational... I wrote the following equalities down to help with the problem:
\begin{align}
       y_1 + y-2 + y_3 &= 1\\
       y_1y_2 + y_1y_3 + y_2y_3 &= -4\\
       y_1y_2y_3 &= -3
   \end{align}
I deduced these from Viète's formulae but I don't really know how to apply them to solve the problem. I did a bit more research and found that elementary symmetric polynomials are helpful with these kinds of questions too. Overall, I would really like to know how one could apply Viète's formulae, and theorems regarding elementary/symmetric polynomials to solve this problem as these concepts are quite new to me.
I've seen a problem like this on this site, but it includes finding polynomials where the roots are isolated to only one of the roots of the original equation (i.e., they are $\frac1{a_1}$,$\frac1{a_2}$,$\frac1{a_3}$ as opposed to $\frac1{a_1} + \frac1{a_2}$ etc.) It would be extremely appreciated if someone could assist me with this problem.

Update: I think I've solved for $p$:
$$y_1 + y_2 + y_3 + y_1 + y_2 + y_3 = 2$$
Therefore, $p = -2$?
However I'm still stumped on how to solve for $r$ and $q$...

REPLY [11 votes]: By Vieta’s formula, we know that $y_1+y_2+y_3 = 1$.  So we’re looking for the cubic whose roots are $1-y_1$, $1-y_2$, $1-y_3$.  This is accomplished by doing the simple substitution (noting that the inverse function of $1-x$ is itself):
$$f(1-y) = (1-y)^3 - (1-y)^2 - 4(1-y) + 3 = -y^3 + 2y^2 + 3y - 1.$$
Negating this to make it monic yields $y^3 - 2y^2 - 3y + 1$, as in Tob Ernack’s answer.
