Can you do the demonstration?

Algebra Level 3

Find the interval of x x satisfying x 4 x 0 { x }^{ 4 }-x\le 0 .

If this interval is [ a , b ] [a,b] , enter your answer as a + b 10 a + \dfrac b{10} .


The answer is 0.1.

x 4 x 0 { x }^{ 4 }-x\le 0

x ( x 3 1 ) 0 { x(x }^{ 3 }-1)\le 0

So we have two ecuations x 3 1 0 { x }^{ 3 }-1\le 0 and x 0 x\le 0

  • If x 0 x\le 0 is true then x ( x 3 1 ) 0 { x(x }^{ 3 }-1)\le 0 is fake because if x < 0 x<0 then x 3 1 { x }^{ 3 }-1 it wil be a negative number, and when we multiply two negative numbers, the result is a positive number and we need a negative number

  • If x 3 1 0 { x }^{ 3 }-1\le 0 is true we have two options, when x 3 1 = 0 { x }^{ 3 }-1=0 and when x 3 1 < 0 { x }^{ 3 }-1<0 , if x 3 1 = 0 { x }^{ 3 }-1=0 is true, then x = 1 x=1 so te original ecuation it will be true. And if x 3 1 < 0 { x }^{ 3 }-1<0 is true then this factor become negative, and when we have x ( x 3 1 ) 0 { x(x }^{ 3 }-1)\le 0 if x 3 1 { x }^{ 3 }-1 is negative then when we multiply x x and x 3 1 { x }^{ 3 }-1 the result it will be a negative number, so x 0 -x\le 0 and x 0 x\ge 0

So x 3 1 0 { x }^{ 3 }-1\le 0 is true, then x 3 1 { x }^{ 3 }\le 1 and x 1 { x }\le 1 and we have x 0 x\ge 0 so 0 x 1 { 0\le x }\le 1

And the interval is [0,1] then the answer is 0.1

Please explain a.b as a+ 0.b , Not a x b . I though a.b =a x b.
