I immediately answered "yes". In my mind I saw the graphs of y = x, y = x^3, and saw there were differences above and below +3, and I did not know exactly where. So, inituitively, I used the IVT. Cheers!
I think it could also be proved like this: x = x^3 + 3 x^3 - x + 3 = 0 let P(x) = x^3 - x + 3 Inspecting the coefficients: 1 ∈ R, -1 ∈ R and 3 ∈ R. Hence, P(x) is a real cubic polynomial. Therefore it either has: a. 3 real solutions (x - R1)(x - R2)(x - R3) b. 1 real and 2 complex solutions (x - c)(x - a - bi)(x - a + bi), a ∈ R and b ∈ R So, there exists at least one real x such that P(x) = 0.
??? By observation - Every cubic (odd polynomial as well) has at least one real solution. Plus there is a cubic “formula” despite its modern perceived complexity - especially when the x^2 term is 0 which was first solved before the generalized cubic.
You can also use the fundamental theorem of arithmatic, which is arguably more advanced but is a bit more generic and is more fundamental to the question. The idea is to prove every odd degree polynomial with real coefficients has a real root. Every n degree polynomial has exactly n roots, and can be decomposed as p(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)...(x-xn), with x1,x2,...xn the roots. Taking the complex conjugate should result in the same polynomial since it's real, so p(x)=a(x-x1*)(x-x2*)...(x-xn*) Equating the roots of the two versions of the polynomial shows that each coefficient is either real or comes in a pair with another coefficient such that each is the other's coefficient. Since it is impossible to arrange an odd number of numbers into pairs at least one of them must be real
It is real important to remember that the function has to be continuous for IVT to hold or at least continuous over the interval a b. And to always wear a cool hat when doing mathematics. 😊❤
I think you could also say that: f(x) is continuous on all real numbers. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity. I don't know if the intermediate value theorem would apply here as infinity and negative infinity isn't a number. This would also apply to all polynomials which have an odd number for the highest power of x.
I don't think you're technically allowed to do that. But what you can do is prove that f(-c) is negative and f(c) is positive, where c is any integer greater than the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients of the polynomial.
@magefreak9356 The coefficients will determine how far you need to go to assure you have applicable points. For instance, f(x) = x^3 - 1000x^2, you need to get past 1000 before f(-c) is negative.
As per asked question, x^3 + 3 = x; I.e x^3 - x + 3 = 0 Let's define f(x) = x^3 - x + 3 So, question now transforms to checking if f(x) = 0 has any real root. We can clearly examine that, f(-2) = -3 and f(-1) = 3. Since, 0 lies between -3 and 3, so, by IVT, there exists atleast one c between -2 and -1, such that f(c) = 0. This proves, that f has atleast one root.Hence, for some c between -2 and -1, c^3 - c + 3 = 0. Also, by further analyzing the limits at -inf and its increasing,decreasing nature, we can deduce that,it is the only root.
I used the Sign Rule (I think that's the name) to show that there is exactly one solution that's negative. As originally stated, the number the problem asks for is a solution of x = x^3 + 3, which works out to x^3 - x + 3 = 0. If x is a solution, let y = -x. Then -y^3 + y + 3 = 0. The polynomial has exactly one sign change, so it has exactly one positive zero, but if y is positive, then x, which is -y, is negative. ETA: Also, I find 10 and -10 to be easier to use than smaller numbers (other than 1). My test here would be (-10)^3 - (-10) + 3 = -1000 + 100 + 3
Good video brother but you haven’t shown that x^3-x+3 is continuous even though I know it’s a polynomial and it’s continuous on R. Taking the derivative would also be good to show. Because differentiability implies continuity.
That's circular logic. The proof for the derivative of a polynomial goes through proving it is continuous. It's like using L'hopital's rule to find the limit of sinx/x
The question is , "is x real" in order to solve that u need to get the notation for the equation and it is x³+3=x Reenraging the terms X³-x+3=0 Any cubic polynomial with real coefficient must have at least one real solution so the answer is ye , no need to solve
@neevhingrajia3822 What leads you to believe it's a transcendental number? As you correctly point out, a transcendental number can't be the solution to an equation like this.
Solution: is there a real solution to x = x³ + 3? x = x³ + 3 |-x³ x - x³ = 3 |therefore x³ < x, which means that, as the result is an integer, x *has* to be negative! (x³ < x would also be possible, if 0 < x < 1, but then the result of x - x³ would not be an integer) Since x³ is growing very fast, x has to be quite small. testing left term assuming x = -1 -1 - (-1)³ = -1 - (-1) = -1 + 1 = 0 testing left term assuming x = -2 -2 - (-2)³ = -2 - (-8) = -2 + 8 = 6 Therefore there is a real solution of x between -1 and -2.
It is not so difficult to calculate x Assume that x is sum of two unknowns,plug in into the equation use binomial expansion , rewrite as system of equations Transform this system of equations to Vieta formulas for quadratic Check if solution of quadratic satisfies system of equations before transformation
Nearest answer is - 1.672, it is still an approximate. Question remains: is there an exact solution ? Probably not in rational numbers, but may be an irrational one. Oh, That is why they are called irrational number.

Awesome demonstration of the use of the IVT.
I think it could also be proved like this:
x = x^3 + 3
x^3 - x + 3 = 0
let P(x) = x^3 - x + 3
Inspecting the coefficients: 1 ∈ R, -1 ∈ R and 3 ∈ R. Hence, P(x) is a real cubic polynomial.
Therefore it either has:
a. 3 real solutions (x - R1)(x - R2)(x - R3)
b. 1 real and 2 complex solutions (x - c)(x - a - bi)(x - a + bi), a ∈ R and b ∈ R
So, there exists at least one real x such that P(x) = 0.

Every cubic function (in fact every polynomial of any odd degree) must have at least one real root because complex roots come in pairs
Or if one goes towards plus or minus infinity he x³ term dominates and the value also goes towards the same infinity.
@okaro6595 true, and therefore since it tends to both infinities it must pass through 0 on the way
If the coefficients of a polynomial are complex numbers, it doesn't need to have a real number root
@@김민국-c9f but they are not here..

x³ - x + 3 = 0 has one real root and two complex conjugate roots.

Thanks sir . Please make a video on mid term and final exam reviews calculus 1
Cardano's cubic formula always find a real solution to a cubic equation, so at least one such c exists and we know f(c) = 0.
Thanks for the help!!

I kept waiting for the numerical real value of the answer!
Is there a solution that doesn’t involve guessing?
The number turns out to be approximately -1.67169988165716.

Solution:
is there a real solution to x = x³ + 3?
x = x³ + 3 |-x³
x - x³ = 3 |therefore x³ < x, which means that, as the result is an integer, x *has* to be negative!
(x³ < x would also be possible, if 0 < x < 1, but then the result of x - x³ would not be an integer)
Since x³ is growing very fast, x has to be quite small.
testing left term assuming x = -1
-1 - (-1)³ = -1 - (-1) = -1 + 1 = 0
testing left term assuming x = -2
-2 - (-2)³ = -2 - (-8) = -2 + 8 = 6
Therefore there is a real solution of x between -1 and -2.
It is not so difficult to calculate x
Assume that x is sum of two unknowns,plug in into the equation
