You need to define a polynomial ring:
sage: P. = PolynomialRing(RR)
sage: f=x^24+34*x^12+45*x^3+9*x^18 +34*x^10+ 32*x^21
sage: time for i in range(1): a=f(x=RR.random_element())
CPU times: user 0.31 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.31 s
Wall time: 0.32
sage: def g(y):
: return y^24+34*y

Make your function f be a polynomia
