Given that f ( 1 ) = 12
The cubic polynomial function is
f ( x ) = k ( x a ) ( x b ) ( x c )
where a = 4 , b = 2 , c = 1 f ( x ) = k ( x + 4 ) ( x + 2 ) ( x 1 ) f ( 1 ) = k ( 1 + 4 ) ( 1 + 2 ) ( 1 1 ) 12 = k ( 3 ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) 12 = 6 k k = 2
put the value in equation
f ( x ) = 2 [ ( x + 4 ) ( x + 2 ) ( x 1 ) ] = 2 [ ( x 2 + 2 x + 4 x + 8 ) ( x 1 ) ] = 2 [ x 3 + 5 x 2 + 2 x 8 ] f ( x ) = 2 x 3 + 10 x 2 + 4 x 16
