Find the indicated value of the function $f(x, y, z)=2 x-5 y^{2}+2 z^{3}-6$ \[ f(1,-3,1) \] \[ f(1,-3,1)= \]

Step 1 ：The function f(x, y, z) is given as \(f(x, y, z)=2 x-5 y^{2}+2 z^{3}-6\). We need to find the value of the function at the point (1,-3,1). This can be done by substituting the values of x, y, and z into the function.

Step 2 ：After substituting the values, we get \(f(1,-3,1)=2(1)-5(-3)^{2}+2(1)^{3}-6\).

Step 3 ：Solving this, we get \(f(1,-3,1)=2-5(9)+2-6\).

Step 4 ：Further simplifying, we get \(f(1,-3,1)=2-45+2-6\).

Step 5 ：Finally, we get \(f(1,-3,1)=38\).

Step 6 ：Therefore, the final answer is \(\boxed{38}\).
