Can anyone tell me? What does it mean by intersects the square at two opposite vertices of the square?


Here's an example of a curve (in red) intersecting two opposite vertices of a square:

Possible intersections points: (8,8) or (-8,-8)
So given x=8, y=8 and for function f(x=8) = c*8*8*8
c*8*8*8 = 8
=> c = 1/64



how do you know that the possible intersections points are (8,8) or (-8,-8)?
Why not other pairs (4,4), (-4,-4)?

so it can be (-8,8) and (8,-8) too?
