Find the minimum value of \frac{x^2}{x - 1 + x^3} for x > 1
I used Desmos to plot y = (x2) / (x – 1 + x3)
As x increases past (1,1), the value of y decreases asymptotically,
which means y approaces zero (the x-axis) but it never gets there.
So there is no minimum value. We say "it approaches zero".
