Homework Statement
We have x greater or equal to -1, and
(1+x)^3 greater/equal to 1 +3x.
We need to prove that 3x^2 +x^3 is greater or equal to zero for x greater/equal to -1.
The Attempt at a Solution
I've simplified the inequality to 3x^2 greater/equal to 0, but now I need to show that this simplified inequality is true for x greater/equal to -1. I'm almost there, but need some guidance. Thanks for all your help in advance!
