in the function y=-8x to the third power +6, what is the value of f(5)
-------------
y+=+-8x%5E3+%2B+6 and f%28x%29+=+-8x%5E3+%2B+6 are used interchangeably. It can cause confusion.
f(x) = whatever is a function in terms of x. Sometimes it's convenient to use y for f(x) in order to graph things, or just to save typing.
Anyway, f(5) is the value of f(x) when x = 5. Sub 5 for x.
f%285%29+=+-8%2A5%5E3+%2B+6
f(5) = -8*125 + 6
f(5) = -994
