Question
The image presents a problem related to polynomial functions. The task is to evaluate the function \( f(x) = 4x^3 - 7x^2 + 8x + 1 \) at \( x = 0 \).

To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( x = 0 \) into the polynomial:

\[
f(0) = 4(0)^3 - 7(0)^2 + 8(0) + 1 
\]

Simplifying this, we find:

\[
f(0) = 0 - 0 + 0 + 1 = 1
\]

Therefore, \( f(0) = 1 \).

There are no graphs or diagrams in this image.
