Let us define another function:
g ( x ) = f ( x ) − x 3
Thus g ( x ) = 0 , for 'x' being any integer from 1 to 10
hence ( x − 1 ) , ( x − 2 ) , . . . ( x − 1 0 ) divides g ( x )
thus, g ( x ) = c ∗ ( x − 1 ) ∗ ( x − 2 ) ∗ . . ( x − 1 0 )
Hence,
f ( 1 2 ) = 1 0 ! 1 1 ∗ 1 0 ∗ 9 ∗ . . . 2 + 1 2 3 = 1 0 ! 1 1 ! + 1 7 2 8 = 1 7 3 9
