To find the value of the function \( f(x) = 4x^3 + 3x^2 - 1 \) at the point \( N(1, 2) \), we first evaluate \( f(1) \).
Calculate \( f(1) \):
\[ f(1) = 4(1)^3 + 3(1)^2 - 1 \] \[ = 4(1) + 3(1) - 1 \] \[ = 4 + 3 - 1 \] \[ = 6 \]
Next, we compare this value with the y-coordinate of point \( N(1, 2) \).
Since \( f(1) = 6 \) and the point \( N(1, 2) \) has a y-coordinate of 2, we can conclude:
- Point \( N(1, 2) \) is not on the curve \( y = f(x) \) because \( f(1) \neq 2 \).
