factoring difference of cubes __ (x-3)(x^2+3x+9)=0
using quadratic formula __ x=(-3 +- sqrt[(3^2-(4)(1)(9)])/[(2)(1)] __ x=[-3 +- sqrt(-27)]/2
__ x=-3/2 +- [(3/2)sqrt(3)]i
one root is real (3) __ roots are 3+0i, (-3/2)+[(3/2)sqrt(3)]i, (-3/2)-[(3/2)sqrt(3)]i

put this solution on YOUR website!OK, Here's how you do it. Now we know, first of all, that all real numbers have one real root and two imaginary roots (Why? because inaginary roots occur in pairs)---27 is a real number
We also know, by inspection, that 3 is the real root of 27 because 3^3=27
If we let x^3=27, then x^3-27=0 This can be factored and we know what one factor is:
(x-3)(x^2 +?x+?)=0 In order to get the quadratic equation, we simply divide x-3 into x^3-27 and when we do that, we get x^2+3x+9. So now we have:
(x-3)(x^2+3x+9)=0
We'll solve x^2+3x+9 using the quadratic formula:
=
=
=
