Hi,

I came across a problem which I have a little trouble with.

Find the area enclosed by the curve​
y= x^3, the x-axis and

the line
y=3x 4.

I did a rough sketch and then solved it as a simultaneous equation so x^3= -3x+4

then bring it over one side x^3+3x-4=0 but I get stuck on factorising in order to find the points of intersection.

Is there anyway I can solve this using simultanous equations (2 u method) or do I just need to draw an accurate sketch via a table of values in order to find the point of intersection?

Thanks

Umm lols, this is the third time this question has been asked in the past few days!

I don't think this can be solved using 2U methods.
