The potential energy of a body is given by $U = A - Bx^2$ (where $x$ is the displacement). The magnitude of the force acting on the particle is:

$A$ particle which is constrained to move along the $x-$axis is subjected to a force in the same direction which varies with the distance $x$ of the particle from the origin as $F(x) = -kx + ax^3$. Here $k$ and $a$ are positive constants. For $x \ge 0$,the functional form of the potential energy $U(x)$ of the particle is
