solve the non-linear inequality 16x<=x^3
-------
x^3-16x >= 0
x(x^2-16) >= 0
x(x-4)(x+4)>= 0
=======
Draw a number line:: plot x = -4,0,4 on it
----
Test a value in each of the resulting 4 intervals::
x(x-4)(x+4)>= 0
---
Test x = -10:: -*-*- > 0 ::: false
Test x = -2::: -*-*+ > 0 ::: true, so solutions in [-4,0]
Test x = 2 ::: +*-*+ > - ::: false
Test x = 10::: +*+*+ > 0 ::: true, so solutions in [4,+oo)
==============
Ans: [-4,0]U[4,+oo)
======================
