.

f(0) = 0. It is correct.

You are correct.

Replace x with each input mentioned.
Use the order of operations (PEMDAS) to simplify.
f(x) = x^3+8x
f(-2) = (-2)^3+8(-2)
f(-2) = -8+8(-2)
f(-2) = -8-16
f(-2) = -24

Similar steps are followed for x = -1, x = 0, and x = 1/2
You are correct in stating that f(0) = 0.

The Desmos calculator can be used to verify.
Type f(x) = x^3+8x into one input box.
Then type f(-2) through f(1/2) to evaluate each input.
