Answer

$k(0)=0$ $k(3)=27$ $k(-3)=-81$ $k(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{-1}{2}$ $k(\frac{a}{2})=\frac{a^{3}}{4}-\frac{3a^{2}}{4}$ $k(-x)=-2x^{3}-3x^{2}$ $k(x^{3})=2x^{9}-3x^{2}$

Work Step by Step

We are given $2x^{3}-3x^{2}$ We evaluate: $k(0)=2(0)^{3}-3(0)^{2}=0$ $k(3)=2(3)^{3}-3(3)^{2}=27$ $k(-3)=2(-3)^{3}-3(-3)^{2}=-81$ $k(\frac{1}{2})=2(\frac{1}{2})^{3}-3(\frac{1}{2})^{2}=\frac{-1}{2}$ $k(\frac{a}{2})=2(\frac{a}{2})^{3}-3(\frac{a}{2})^{2}=\frac{a^{3}}{4}-\frac{3a^{2}}{4}$ $k(-x)=2(-x)^{3}-3(-x)^{2}=-2x^{3}-3x^{2}$ $k(x^{3})=2(x^{3})^{3}-3(x^{3})^{2}=2x^{9}-3x^{2}$
