To find value of a function at x=a, where a is some constant, you replace every x in that function with a.

$g(x)=x^3-2x$

(a) $g(3)=3^3-2*3=27-6=21.$

(b) $g(10)=10^3-2*10=1000-20=980$.

So your answers are incorrect, but I hope you understand now, can you do rest of the problem (parts (c) and (d))?

it's not the same question, and I not looking for answers only, I am trying to really understand it. As for the 1234 numbers, I am not putting those, I think it's a pc error.
