- The answer for this problem I submitted to my professor was incomplete. He said the problem has four questions but I only completed part ofthe first one (x-intercept). Please help? i submitted:
Solve Problem
y = x3- x
My answer
y = x3- x
Or y = x(x2 - 1)
= x(x - 1)(x + 1) {since a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b)}
Put y = 0
x(x - 1)(x + 1) = 0
here x = 0, x - 1 = 0 and x + 1 = 0
Or x = 0, x = 1 and x = -1
Thus, x = 0, -1 and 1
Thank you
