About LinkBacksShow that there exists a differentiable function f: R to R such that
(f(x))^5+f(x)+x=0 for all x in R.
I'm thinking about using its inverse function g, but not sure if it works. Could anyone please give me some hints? Any help is appreciated!

First off, the problem says that, for every real number, the 5-th degree polynomial
has a real zero. Do you believe this?
You're looking for a function defined by, even if you can't write down a formula. I don't know how much background to assume here. You said something about an "inverse function." I would recommend considering the function
and applying the implicit function theorem.
