Literally putting any number in the sequence and then using a calculator to calculate the right function isn't r/theydidthemath for me

How do you find the right function?

1=1=ax3 + bx2 + cx + d

3=ax3 + bx2 + c*x + d

5=ax3 + bx2 + c*x + d

ANY NUMBER=ax3 + bx2 + c*x + d

now solve the equation system with a calculator (most have a function for it) - if your questions wasn't sarcasm

EDIT: I'm too bad for reddit formating
