**Evaluate the Definite Integral**

\[
\int_{4}^{7} (15x^2 - 8x + 7) \, dx
\]

---

In this problem, you are asked to evaluate the definite integral of the polynomial function \(15x^2 - 8x + 7\) from the lower limit \(x = 4\) to the upper limit \(x = 7\). Definite integrals represent the signed area under a curve described by a function within the given limits. 

To solve this integral, follow these steps:

1. **Find the Indefinite Integral:**
   \[
   \int (15x^2 - 8x + 7) \, dx
   \]
   - Use the power rule for integration: \(\int x^n \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}\).
   - Integrate each term separately:
     - \(\int 15x^2 \, dx = 15 \cdot \frac{x^{3}}{3} = 5x^3\)
     - \(\int -8x \, dx = -8 \cdot \frac{x^{2}}{2} = -4x^2\)
     - \(\int 7 \, dx = 7x\)
   - Combine the results:
     \[ F(x) = 5x^3 - 4x^2 + 7x + C \]

2. **Evaluate the Definite Integral:**
   \[
   \int_{4}^{7} (15x^2 - 8x + 7) \, dx =  F(7) - F(4)
   \]
   - Calculate \(F(7)\):
     \[ F(7) = 5(7)^3 - 4(7)^2 + 7(7) \]
   - Calculate \(F(4)\):
     \[ F(4) = 5(4)^3 - 4(4)^2 + 7(4) \]
   - Subtract the results:
     \[ F(7) - F(4) \]

By evaluating this expression, you will obtain the numerical result representing the signed area under the curve \(15x^2 - 8x + 7\) from \(x = 4
