We have to find what happens with f(x) when x grows very large.

The function is:


f(x)=x^3-3x^2+2x

When x grows very large, the term that has a higher degree will be the one that have the greatest effect in the value of f(x).

In this function, the term with the highest degree is x³.

As x grows very large, so does x³. Then, we can conclude that f(x) will also rise as does x.

Answer: True.
