calculus - Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that cos(x)=x3 has a solution.

I am not sure if I am fully understanding how to solve this, but I think that, since the since g(x)=cos(x) and g(x)=x3 are continuous everywhere, the function f(x)=cos(x)x3 must also be continuous everywhere, and therefore, according to the Intermediate Value Theorem, cos(x)=x3 must have a solution. However, I'm not sure if that's true.



How can I show that cos(x)=x3 has a solution?
