Given the function
Calculate the following values:
f( - 1) =
f(0)
f(2)=

-1 is less than 0, so you use the first equation:

3(-1) +2 = -3+2 = -1

f(-1) = -1

For 0 use the 2nd equation:

3(0) + 4 = 0+4 = 4

f(0) = 4

For 2 use the 2nd equation:

3(2) + 4 = 6+4 = 10

f(2) = 10

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18
