f'(x)=3x^2+2x+a
=3x^2+2x- 1
=(x+ 1)(3x- 1)
x 1=- 1 x2= 1/3
(-∞,-1)( 1/3,+∞) is an increasing interval.
(-1, 1/3) is the subtraction interval.
2) let g (x) = x 3+x 2+ax+b-ax = x 3+x 2+b.
g'(x)=3x^2+2x
=x(3x+2)
x 1=0 x2=-2/3
(-∞, -2/3)(0,+∞) is an increasing interval.
(-2/3,0) is the subtraction interval.
So a g (-2/3) * g (0) < 0.
b∈(-4/27,0)
