Find roots of polynomial $$ p(x) = 2s^3+s^2+2s+\frac{10025}{100} $$
Answer
The roots of polynomial $ p(s) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}s_1 &= -3.767\\[1 em]s_2 &= 1.6335+3.2616i\\[1 em]s_3 &= 1.6335-3.2616i \end{aligned} $$Explanation
Step 1:
Get rid of fractions by multipling equation by $ \color{blue}{ 100 } $.
$$ \begin{aligned} 2s^3+s^2+2s+\frac{10025}{100} & = 0 ~~~ / \cdot \color{blue}{ 100 } \\[1 em] 200s^3+100s^2+200s+10025 & = 0 \end{aligned} $$Step 2:
Polynomial $ 200s^3+100s^2+200s+10025 $ has no rational roots that can be found using Rational Root Test, so the roots were found using qubic formulas.
