Using Doivire's Theorem, find the cube roots of 8.

How would I do that?

Thanks for all the help guys. One more quick thing. Can someone help me prove this.



PS. That 1/z is meant to be 1/z^n

...get a textbook and learn it yourself.
it's all fine and dandy that we're helping you but at least show SOME effort as to what progress you've made.

Just let a, b, and c be the roots of the equation

therefore a+b+c=-b/a

ab+ac+bc=c/a

abc=-d/a

then resubstitute for x, doesn't require much complex knowledge at all if you attack it like that.

Complex number way: x=cos^2x, Let 4@= 32x^3-48^2+18x-1 which is real (cos@)

4@=pi/2+kpi= (pi+2kpi)/2= (2k+1)pi/2 where k=0,1,2,3

Agree with Tommy though, you gotta make effort yourself first, if you post up a method that you tried with your Q it shows you tried. Glad to assist though
