Math Problem Statement

Draw y=ln(x)+x^3

Solution

Here is the graph of the function y=ln(x)+x3y = \ln(x) + x^3. As you can see, it incorporates both the logarithmic and cubic behavior, with a steep rise for large positive values of xx due to the cubic term, and a sharp dip near x=0x = 0 due to the logarithmic term.

Let me know if you'd like more details or have any questions!

Here are 5 questions related to this function:

  1. What is the domain and range of y=ln(x)+x3y = \ln(x) + x^3?
  2. How does the function behave as x0+x \to 0^+?
  3. Where does the function have inflection points?
  4. How can we approximate roots of this function numerically?
  5. What happens to y=ln(x)+x3y = \ln(x) + x^3 for negative xx?

Tip: The natural logarithm ln(x)\ln(x) is only defined for x>0x > 0, so always consider domain restrictions carefully when analyzing logarithmic functions!
