You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you're considering complex roots, then it has 3 complex roots according to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (notice how the degree of this polynomial is 3).
And it turns out that graphing it gives us this
and we see 3 x-intercepts (which means that there are 3 roots)
