4, -1 + 2i Sqrt3, -1 + 2i sqrt3
4, 1 +2i sqrt3 , 1 + 2i sqrt3
4, -2 + 2i sqrt3 -2 - 2i sqrt3
4, -2 + 2i sqrt3, 2 + 2i sqrt3
Solution:
Given polynomial equation is x3 - 64 = 0
x3 - 64 is the cubic polynomial in the form a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)
x3 - 43 = (x - 4)(x2 + 4x + 42)
One root is 4
x2 + 4x + 16 = 0
x = -b ± √(b2 - 4ac) / 2a
x = -4 ± √42 - 64 /2
x = -2 ± √-48 /2
x = -2 ± 4√3i /2
x = -2 ± 2√3i
Therefore, x = 4, -2 ± 2√3i
What are the real and complex solutions of the polynomial equation x3 - 64 = 0
Summary:
The real and complex solutions of the polynomial equation x3 - 64 = 0 are x = 4, -2 ± 2√3i
