  • Answer

Let f(x)=x3−x2f(x)=x^{3}-x^{2}. For a given value of cc, the graph of f(x)f(x), together with the graph of the line c+xc+x, split the plane up into regions. Suppose that cc is such that exactly two of these regions have finite area. Find the value of cc that minimizes the sum of the areas of these two regions.
