Explanation:
Step 1: Define
f(x) = ∛(x - 4)
f(-121) is x = -121
f(31) is x = 31
Step 2: Evaluate
f(-121)
- Substitute in x: f(-121) = ∛(-121 - 4)
- [Radical] Subtract: f(-121) = ∛(-125)
- [Radical] Evaluate: f(-121) = -5
f(31)
- Substitute in x: f(31) = ∛(31 - 4)
- [Radical] Subtract: f(31) = ∛27
- [Radical] Evaluate: f(31) = 3
