Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
Solve for y
y≤−1
Alternative Form
y∈(−∞,−1]
Evaluate
−1≥y3
Move the expression to the left side
−1−y3≥0
Rewrite the expression
−1−y3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−y3=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−y3=1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
y3=−1
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3y3=3−1
Calculate
y=3−1
Simplify the root

y=−1
Determine the test intervals using the critical values
y<−1y>−1
Choose a value form each interval
y1=−2y2=0
To determine if y<−1 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value y=−2 satisfies the initial inequality

Evaluate
−1≥(−2)3
Calculate
−1≥−23
Calculate
−1≥−8
Check the inequality
true
y<−1 is the solutiony2=0
To determine if y>−1 is the solution to the inequality,test if the chosen value y=0 satisfies the initial inequality
More Steps

Evaluate
−1≥03
Calculate
−1≥0
Check the inequality
false
y<−1 is the solutiony>−1 is not a solution
The original inequality is a nonstrict inequality,so include the critical value in the solution
y≤−1 is the solution
Solution
y≤−1
Alternative Form
y∈(−∞,−1]
Show Solution
