Question

True or false:

If f(x) is a cubic function
and f(1) = 0, f(3) = 0 and
ƒ(4) = 0,
then f(5)=8

Answer 1

FALSE

Explanation:

It is not necessarily true that ƒ(5)=8 just because ƒ(1)=0, ƒ(3)=0, and ƒ(4)=0. In fact, it is possible for ƒ(x) to be a cubic function and for ƒ(5) to equal any number, depending on the specific form of the function and the values of its coefficients.
