Problem

Let f(x)f(x) be an odd function on R\mathbb R with f(x)=x33xf(x)=x^3-3x for 0x20\leqslant x\leqslant 2, and suppose the graph of ff is centrally symmetric about the point (2,2)(2,2). Determine, with proof, which of the following are true.

1. f(3)=6f(3)=6. 2. y=f(x)5y=f(x)-5 has three zeros. 3. g(x)=f(x)xg(x)=f(x)-x is periodic with period 44. 4. The segment y=x+1639y=x+\dfrac{16\sqrt 3}9 (x[2,10]x\in[-2,10]) meets the graph of y=f(x)y=f(x) (x[2,10]x\in[-2,10]) in 66 points.
