$A$ particle has a total mechanical energy that is small and negative. It is under the influence of a one-dimensional potential $U(x) = \frac{x^4}{4} - \frac{x^2}{2} \, J$,where $x$ is in meters. At time $t = 0 \, s$,it is at $x = -0.5 \, m$. Then,at a later time,it can be found:

The potential energy of a particle is related to the $x$ coordinate by the equation $U = x^2 - 2x$. The particle will be in stable equilibrium at:
