### Problem 5

**Task:** Evaluate \( f(-3) \) for the function \( f(x) = x^3 + 3x + 17 \).

**Solution Steps:**
1. Substitute \( x = -3 \) into the function \( f(x) = x^3 + 3x + 17 \).
2. Calculate \((-3)^3\).
3. Multiply \(3\) by \(-3\).
4. Add the results and the constant \(17\).
5. Simplify to find the value of \( f(-3) \). 

The solution will provide a step-by-step evaluation of the function at the specified value of \( x \).
