The function f (x) = x3-x is known to decrease on (0, a) and increase on [a, + ∞). The value of a is obtained. The expert is requested to answer

From the meaning of the title, we know that the derivative of F (x) is 3x & # 178; - 1, so that it is equal to 0, and the solution is X & # 178; = 1 / 3
From the graph of F (x), we know that f (x) ′ = 3x & # 178; - 1 < 0 leads to - 1 / √ 3 < x < 1 / √ 3
F (x) = x3-x decreases on (0, a) and increases on [a, + ∞)
Then a = - 1 / √ 3
