The way you have shown the function, "f (x) = (x – 8)3– 9", I don't know what it is supposed to be. It might be
;
or it might be


But in fact if either of those interpretations is correct, then in either case it is a function, because both of those are polynomials; and all polynomials in a single variable are functions.
