Comparing Function Values

Hard Quantitative Comparisons Functions

Consider the function defined by the equation $$f(x) = x^3 - 3x + 2$$.

We want to compare the values of this function at two specific points:

1. $$f(1)$$

2. $$f(2)$$

Determine which of the following statements is true:

The value of $$f(1)$$ is greater than $$f(2)$$.

The value of $$f(1)$$ is equal to $$f(2)$$.

The value of $$f(2)$$ is greater than $$f(1)$$.

The values of $$f(1)$$ and $$f(2)$$ are both zero.
