Find roots of polynomial $$ p(x) = -1+2x+2x^2+x^3 $$
Answer
The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= 0.3532\\[1 em]x_2 &= -1.1766+1.2028i\\[1 em]x_3 &= -1.1766-1.2028i \end{aligned} $$Explanation
Step 1:
Write polynomial in descending order
$$ \begin{aligned} -1+2x+2x^2+x^3 & = 0\\[1 em] x^3+2x^2+2x-1 & = 0 \end{aligned} $$Step 2:
Polynomial $ x^3+2x^2+2x-1 $ has no rational roots that can be found using Rational Root Test, so the roots were found using qubic formulas.
