Implement the mathematical function f(x) = -5 x^5 + 69 x^2 - 47 as a Python function.

Then use Python to compute the function values f(0), f(1), f(2), and f(3). Enter the maximum of these four numbers.

Question

Implement the mathematical function f(x) = -5 x^5 + 69 x^2 - 47 as a Python function. 

Then use Python to compute the function values f(0), f(1), f(2), and f(3). Enter the maximum of these four numbers.

anonymous · Answer

This is the code I have right now:

===
def f(x):
    return (-5.0)(x**5) + (69.0)(x**2) - 47.0

print f(0)
print f(1)
print f(2)
print f(3)
===

However I don't understand my error:
Line 2: TypeError: 'float' object is not callable
