$A$ particle is constrained to move along the $x$-axis. $A$ force is applied to it in the same direction,which varies with the distance $x$ from the origin as $F(x) = -kx + ax^3$,where $k$ and $a$ are positive constants. What will be the graph of the potential energy $U(x)$ of the particle for $x \ge 0$?
