The shaded portion in the graph above is repres... - JAMB Mathematics 1999 Question
A
y + x - x3 ≥ 0, y - x ≤ 0
B
y - x + x3 ≥ 0, y - x ≤ 0
C
y + x - x3 ≤ 0, y + x ≥ 0
D
y - x + x3 ≤ 0, y + x ≥ 0
correct option: a
y + x - x2 ≥ 0
y = x3 - x
on x axis, y = 0
∴x2 - x = 0
x(x2 - 1) = 0
x = 0 or x2 - 1 = 0
x2 = 1
x = +/-1
∴ x = -1, 0 and 1 which are the roots of the equation y + x - x2 ≥ 0
Also y - x ≤ 0
=> y ≤ 0 + x
∴ the region where y ≤ 0
y = x3 - x
on x axis, y = 0
∴x2 - x = 0
x(x2 - 1) = 0
x = 0 or x2 - 1 = 0
x2 = 1
x = +/-1
∴ x = -1, 0 and 1 which are the roots of the equation y + x - x2 ≥ 0
Also y - x ≤ 0
=> y ≤ 0 + x
∴ the region where y ≤ 0
