1. **Problem statement:**
We want to find the function term of a cubic polynomial $f(x)$ that models the curve profile of a swing lounger. The function is a cubic polynomial symmetric about the origin (odd function), so it has the form:
$$f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d$$
Since the function is symmetric about the origin (punktsymmetrisch), it must be an odd function, which means:
$$f(-x) = -f(x)$$
This implies that the function contains only odd powers of $x$ and no constant term or even powers. Therefore:
$$f(x) = ax^3 + cx$$
2. **Given points:**
The curve passes through the points $(-0.6, 0.1)$ and $(0.7, 0.8)$.
3. **Set up equations using the points:**
For $x = -0.6$:
$$f(-0.6) = a(-0.6)^3 + c(-0.6) = 0.1$$
Calculate powers:
$$-0.6^3 = -0.216$$
So:
$$-0.216a - 0.6c = 0.1$$
For $x = 0.7$:
$$f(0.7) = a(0.7)^3 + c(0.7) = 0.8$$
Calculate powers:
$$0.7^3 = 0.343$$
So:
$$0.343a + 0.7c = 0.8$$
4. **Solve the system of linear equations:**
$$\begin{cases}
-0.216a - 0.6c = 0.1 \\
0.343a + 0.7c = 0.8
\end{cases}$$
Multiply the first equation by $7$ and the second by $6$ to align $c$ coefficients:
$$\begin{cases}
-1.512a - 4.2c = 0.7 \\
2.058a + 4.2c = 4.8
\end{cases}$$
Add the two equations to eliminate $c$:
$$(-1.512a + 2.058a) + (-4.2c + 4.2c) = 0.7 + 4.8$$
$$0.546a = 5.5$$
Solve for $a$:
$$a = \frac{5.5}{0.546} \approx 10.07$$
Substitute $a$ back into the second original equation:
$$0.343 \times 10.07 + 0.7c = 0.8$$
Calculate:
$$3.453 + 0.7c = 0.8$$
$$0.7c = 0.8 - 3.453 = -2.653$$
$$c = \frac{-2.653}{0.7} \approx -3.79$$
5. **Final function term:**
$$f(x) = 10.07x^3 - 3.79x$$
This cubic polynomial is symmetric about the origin and fits the given points, modeling the swing lounger profile.
**Answer:**
$$\boxed{f(x) = 10.07x^3 - 3.79x}$$
