The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= 2.308\\[1 em]x_2 &= 2.6431\\[1 em]x_3 &= 7.0489 \end{aligned} $$Step 1:
Write polynomial in descending order
$$ \begin{aligned} 43-41x+12x^2-x^3 & = 0\\[1 em] -x^3+12x^2-41x+43 & = 0 \end{aligned} $$Step 2:
Polynomial $ -x^3+12x^2-41x+43 $ has no rational roots that can be found using Rational Root Test, so the roots were found using qubic formulas.
