Let gg be the function defined by g(x)={x3−3x,−2≤x≤1,4−x,1<x≤4.g(x)=\begin{cases} x^{3}-3x, & -2\le x\le 1,\\ 4-x, & 1<x\le 4. \end{cases} Does the equation g(x)=1g(x)=1 have at least one real solution in the interval (1,4](1,4]? Answer Yes or No and name a specific closed interval of length 11 contained in (1,4](1,4] on which such a solution is guaranteed to lie.
