Let $f(x)=1-x-x^3$, then the real values of x satisfying the inequality $1-f(x)-f^3(x)>f(1-5 x)$, is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
We have, $f(x)=1-x-x^3$
$f'(x)=-1-3 x^2<0$ (decreasing function)
so $1-f(x)-f^3(x)>f(1-5 x)$
$=f(f(x))>f(1-5 x)$
$1-x-x^3<1-5 x$ [as $f(x) < 1-5 x$]
so $x^3+x>5x$
$x^3-4x>0$
$x(x^2-4)>0$

so for this condition
$x∈(-2, 0) \cup(2, ∞)$
