on a two - dimensional coordinate plane , the line d = x ^ 2 - x ^ 3 touches the x - axis in how many places ?
"apparently it ' s d = x ^ 2 - x ^ 3 instead of d = x ^ 2 - d ^ 3 . in this case : the x - intercept is the value ( s ) of x for d = 0 . 0 = x ^ 2 - x ^ 3 ; 0 = x ^ 2 ( 1 - x ) ; x = 0 or x = 1 . answer : c ."
subtract(max(3, 2), const_1)
