You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"+f%28x%29+=+x%5E6+-+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+0+=+x%5E6+-+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E6+=+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "There are 6 solutions, and you have 2 of them:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The other 4 solutions are the imaginary roots:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+root%28+6%2C1+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The argand circle has real numbers plotted horizontally
\n" ); document.write( "and imaginary number vertically.
\n" ); document.write( "The 6 solutions are spaced equally on this circle
\n" ); document.write( "60 degrees apart starting with \"+1\":

\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "These are just 30-60-90 triangles scaled down by 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "I'll check one of these:
