Solve for real solution of the system below:
[MATH]\left\lfloor{x^3}\right\rfloor+\left\lfloor{x^2}\right\rfloor+\left\lfloor{x}\right\rfloor=\left\{x\right\}-1[/MATH].
My solution:
First, observe that the LHS of the equality must yield an integer, this tells us the fractional part of $x$ must be a zero, so this turns the whole equation as:
[MATH]x^3+x^2+x=-1\\x^3+x^2+x+1=0\\(x+1)(x^2+1)=0[/MATH]
This implies $x=-1$ is the only real solution to the system.
Good solution on greatest integer function
