The shaded portion in the graph above is represented by
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
