I'm having problems figuring out what this answer is using complex numbers. Please help! Solve in the complex number system. 8x^3 + 27 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "use formula
\n" ); document.write( "a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2x)^3+(3)^3=[2x+3][(2x)^2-(2x)(3)+3^2]=0
\n" ); document.write( "=(2x+3)[4x^2-6x+9]=0
\n" ); document.write( "hence 2x+3=0....or......x=-3/2......or
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2-6x+9=0
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28+6%5E2-4%2A4%2A9+%29%29%2F%282%2A4%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28+36-144+%29%29%2F%288%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28+-108+%29%29%2F%288%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"x+=+%283+%2B-+3sqrt%28+-3+%29%29%2F%284%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = [3+3isqrt(3)]/4 or [3-3isqrt(3)]/4
\n" ); document.write( "
