    ??? 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.

    Every cubic function (in fact every polynomial of any odd degree) must have at least one real root because complex roots come in pairs

    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

    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

    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.

    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
