Find roots of polynomial $$ p(x) = x^3-\frac{46}{30}x^2-\frac{61}{30}x-\frac{1}{3} $$
Answer
The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= -0.1969\\[1 em]x_2 &= -0.6973\\[1 em]x_3 &= 2.4275 \end{aligned} $$Explanation
Step 1:
Get rid of fractions by multipling equation by $ \color{blue}{ 30 } $.
$$ \begin{aligned} x^3-\frac{46}{30}x^2-\frac{61}{30}x-\frac{1}{3} & = 0 ~~~ / \cdot \color{blue}{ 30 } \\[1 em] 30x^3-46x^2-61x-10 & = 0 \end{aligned} $$Step 2:
Polynomial $ 30x^3-46x^2-61x-10 $ has no rational roots that can be found using Rational Root Test, so the roots were found using qubic formulas.
