Find roots of polynomial $$ p(x) = x^3+6x-6x^2+1 $$
Answer
The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= -0.1451\\[1 em]x_2 &= 1.476\\[1 em]x_3 &= 4.6691 \end{aligned} $$Explanation
Step 1:
Write polynomial in descending order
$$ \begin{aligned} x^3+6x-6x^2+1 & = 0\\[1 em] x^3-6x^2+6x+1 & = 0 \end{aligned} $$Step 2:
Polynomial $ x^3-6x^2+6x+1 $ has no rational roots that can be found using Rational Root Test, so the roots were found using qubic formulas.
