Evaluate Using the Given Value f(5)=5^3-2*5+4

$f (5) = 5^{3} - 2 \cdot 5 + 4$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Raise $5$ to the power of $3$ .

$f (5) = 125 - 2 \cdot 5 + 4$

Multiply $- 2$ by $5$ .

$f (5) = 125 - 10 + 4$

Step 2

Simplify by adding and subtracting.

Subtract $10$ from $125$ .

$f (5) = 115 + 4$

Add $115$ and $4$ .

$f (5) = 119$
