The <em>cubic</em> equation f(x) = x³ + 2 · x² + 4 · x + 8 has one <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots.

<h3>What kind of roots does have a cubic equation? </h3>

In this problem we have a <em>cubic</em> equation and the nature of their roots must be inferred according to a <em>algebraic</em> method.

Cubic equations are polynomials of the form y = a · x³ + b · x² + c · x + d, there is a method to infer the nature of the roots of such polynomials: The discriminant from Cardano's method, an <em>analytical</em> method used to solve polynomials of the form a · x³ + b · x² + c · x + d = 0.

The discriminant is described below:

Δ = 18 · a · b · c · d - 4 · b³ · d + b² · c² - 4 · a · c³ - 27 · a² · d²      (1)

Where:

  1. There are three <em>distinct real</em> roots for Δ > 0.
  2. Real roots with multiplicity greater than 1 for Δ = 0.
  3. A <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots for Δ < 0.

If we know that a = 1, b = 2, c = 4 and d = 8, then the nature of the roots is:

Δ = 18 · 1 · 2 · 4 · 8 - 4 · 2³ · 8 + 2² · 4² - 4 · 1 · 4³ - 27 · 1² · 8²

Δ = - 1024

The <em>cubic</em> equation f(x) = x³ + 2 · x² + 4 · x + 8 has one <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots.

\implies \begin{pmatrix}6x+y & 2+0 & 10-4\\0+1 & 4x-3y & -6+2\end{pmatrix} =  \begin{pmatrix}31 & 2 & 6\\1 & 17& -4 \end{pmatrix}\\\\\\\implies \begin{pmatrix}6x+y & 2 & 6\\1 & 4x-3y & -4\end{pmatrix} =  \begin{pmatrix}31 & 2 & 6\\1 & 17& -4 \end{pmatrix}\\\\\text{System of equations},\\\\6x +y =31,~~ 4x -3y = 17\\\\\\(iii)\\\\6x +y-31 =0 \\\\4x-3y -17=0\\\\\text{Solving by cross multiplication method}\\\\\\\dfrac x{1(-17) - (-31)(-3)} = \dfrac y{4(-31) - 6(-17)} = \dfrac 1{6(-3) - 4(1)}

\implies \dfrac{x}{-17 -93}  = \dfrac{y}{-124 +102} = \dfrac 1{-18-4}\\\\\\\implies -\dfrac{x}{110} = -\dfrac{y}{22} = -\dfrac 1{22}\\\\ \implies \dfrac{x}{110} = \dfrac{y}{22} = \dfrac 1{22}\\\ \\\text{Hence,}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{110}{22}=5,~~~~ y= \dfrac{22}{22} =1
