The function is not linear, b/c of the power functions. It's a third degree polynomium.
f(2) = 72 - 4 + s = 68 + s

the functions definitely not linear; there are x^3 and x^2
f(2)=9(8)-4 +s=72-4+s

f(x)=9x^3-x^2+5
The function is cubic because the biggest power of x is three. It is not linear function
f(2)=9(2)^3-(2)^2+5
=72-4 +5
=73

the function is not linear it is a polynomial of degree 3
f(2)= 9*2^3-2^2+s or 68+s

No, the funtion isn't linear.
f(2) = 9(2)^3-2^2+s
= 9(8)-4+s
= 72-4 +s
= 68+s

the function can't be linear if you have any expontentials in it ... you are given the the value of x with f(2) so what I think you can find in the value of s .... i'm a little confused. hold on ....
i agree with ivan. without the value of s, x will still have an unknown variable in it but I think that is the answer if you are not given any more information.

Assuming that the "s" is a constant, then you have a cubic polynomial equation. Evaluating for f(2) is 68+s.

It equals mc2. I'm smart.
