1) --> x^3-2x^2+a>0 .....

differential of the fxn = 3x^2 - 4x = x(3x-4) .....

+ - --> +
____________________________________________________________
0 4/3

minima at 4/3 .....

64/27 - 32/9 = 64 - 96/27 = -32/27

so we have to lift up the fxn by 32/27 or 32/27 =a

sry abt calc errors ..

2)
diff of fxm
f/(x)=cosx + a ..

if a>1 f/(x)>0 for all x εR

lt x-->-inf f(x) = -inf and lt x-->inf f(x) = inf

so it has to cut x axis at exactly 1 pt

i)but f(0) = b which is <0 there fore it will cut axis at exactly 1 pt ...after the origin ie positive root ...

ii)b>0 clearly root negative

iii) if a <1 .. f/(x)<0

and now b>0 --> clearly root positive
