Find the curves where x intersect.

OpenStudy (zenmo):

\[y = x^3, x = y^3\]

satellite73 (satellite73):

i bet 0 works

satellite73 (satellite73):

and two more i think

OpenStudy (zenmo):

Yea, I am setting up an integral from a to b, but no clue on where the curves intersect at. So, 0 works.

satellite73 (satellite73):

1 too right?

satellite73 (satellite73):

and also -1

OpenStudy (zenmo):

yea 0 to 1, but how do I know what values to stop at?

satellite73 (satellite73):

i don't knowwhat you mean also it is not clear what the question is asking but the curves intersect at \((-1,-1),(0,0),(1,1)\) from your eyeballs

satellite73 (satellite73):

here is a nice picture of both http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=x%3Dy^3,+y%3Dx^3

OpenStudy (zenmo):

Is there a way to know where these curves intersect at, algebraically?

satellite73 (satellite73):

set them equal

OpenStudy (zenmo):

\[x^3=x^{1/3}\] Like that?

satellite73 (satellite73):

sure or \[x=x^6\]

satellite73 (satellite73):

oh wait that doesn't give the -1 solution does it ?
