if  x∈R  prove that:  x^6  - x + 1 > 0

$$\mathrm{if}\:\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}\in\mathbb{R}\:\:\mathrm{prove}\:\mathrm{that}: \\ $$ $$\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{6}} \:-\:\mathrm{x}\:+\:\mathrm{1}\:>\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$

I. if x≤0⇏−x≥0; x^6 +1>0⇒  x^6 −x+1>0  II. if x>0⇒x^6 +1=x^6 +(1/5)+(1/5)+(1/5)+(1/5)+(1/5)≥^(am−gm)   ≥((6x)/( (5^5 )^(1/6) ))>((6x)/5)>x⇒x^6 −x+1>0

$${I}.\:{if}\:{x}\leqslant\mathrm{0}\nRightarrow−{x}\geqslant\mathrm{0};\:{x}^{\mathrm{6}} +\mathrm{1}>\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow \\ $$ $${x}^{\mathrm{6}} −{x}+\mathrm{1}>\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $${II}.\:{if}\:{x}>\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{6}} +\mathrm{1}={x}^{\mathrm{6}} +\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}\overset{{am}−{gm}} {\geqslant} \\ $$ $$\geqslant\frac{\mathrm{6}{x}}{\:\sqrt[{\mathrm{6}}]{\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{5}} }}>\frac{\mathrm{6}{x}}{\mathrm{5}}>{x}\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{6}} −{x}+\mathrm{1}>\mathrm{0} \\ $$

f(x)=x^6 −x+1  f ′(x)=6x^5 −1  f ′′(x)=30x^4   f ′(x)=0 ⇒ x=(1/6^(1/5) ); f((1/6^(1/5) ))≈.4>0  f ′′(x)>0∀x∈R ⇒  ⇒ absolute minimum >0

$${f}\left({x}\right)={x}^{\mathrm{6}} −{x}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$ $${f}\:'\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{6}{x}^{\mathrm{5}} −\mathrm{1} \\ $$ $${f}\:''\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{30}{x}^{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$ $${f}\:'\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\:{x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{6}^{\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{5}} };\:{f}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{6}^{\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{5}} }\right)\approx.\mathrm{4}>\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $${f}\:''\left({x}\right)>\mathrm{0}\forall{x}\in\mathbb{R}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{absolute}\:\mathrm{minimum}\:>\mathrm{0} \\ $$
