Answer:
The mapping of the function f(x) given as 3x⁴ - 4x³ + 3x² - 5x - 3 is define at; -3, f(-3) = 390 and at 4, f(4) = 537
What is a function
A function is a rule that defines a relationship between one variable. It is the mapping whose codomain is the set of real numbers
By substitution:
For x = -3;
f(-3) = 3(-3)⁴ - 4(-3)³ + 3(-3)² - 5(-3) - 3
f(-3) = 3(81) + 4(27) + 3(9) + 15 - 3
f(-3) = 243 + 108 + 27 + 15 - 3
f(-3) = 390
For x = 4;
f(4) = 3(4)⁴ - 4(4)³ + 3(4)² - 5(4) - 3
f(4) = 3(256) - 4(64) + 3(16) - 20 - 3
f(4) = 768 - 256 + 48 - 20 - 3
f(4) = 537
Therefore, for the mapping of the function f(x) = 3x⁴ - 4x³ + 3x² - 5x - 3 for the values of x: -3 and 4 we have the results 390 and 537.
