def map(the_function, the_list):
    # return a new list with the_function
    # applied to each element in the_list

Using only head and tail as defined by the List ADT, implement map.

Use your implementation of map to apply the function:

1 2	`def polynomial(x): return 3 * x * x - 5 * x + 1`

to the list \([32, 57, 16, 8, 38]\).
