Solution
The function increases as x increases
and doesn't open in a direction like a parabola, so it is a cubic function
of the form y = nx3 + b with n > 0. The equation intersects the y-axis at(0, 0), so y = nx3 + b 0 = n * 03 + b 0 = b y = nx3 0 We also know (1, 4) is in the
parabola. 4 = n * 13
0 4 = n 0 n = 4 y = 4x3
