Consider the equation x^6+6x^3+5=0.

First, you can use the substitution t=x^3, then x^6=(x^3)^2=t^2 and equation becomes t^2+6t+5=0. This equation is quadratic, so

D=6^2-4\cdot 5\cdot 1=36-20=16=4^2,\ \sqrt{D}=4,\\ \\ t_{1,2}=\dfrac{-6\pm 4}{2} =-5,-1.

Then you can factor this equation:

(t+5)(t+1)=0.

Use the made substitution again:

(x^3+5)(x^3+1)=0.

You have in each brackets the expression like a^3+b^3 that is equal to (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2). Thus,

x^3+5=(x+\sqrt[3]{5})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{5}x+\sqrt[3]{25}) ,\\x^3+1=(x+1)(x^2-x+1)

and the equation is

(x+\sqrt[3]{5})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{5}x+\sqrt[3]{25})(x+1)(x^2-x+1)=0.

Here x_1=-\sqrt[3]{5} , x_2=-1 and you can sheck whether quadratic trinomials have real roots:

1. D_1=(-\sqrt[3]{5}) ^2-4\cdot \sqrt[3]{25}=\sqrt[3]{25} -4\sqrt[3]{25} =-3\sqrt[3]{25}.

2. D_2=(-1)^2-4\cdot 1=1-4=-3.

This means that quadratic trinomials don't have real roots.

Answer: x_1=-\sqrt[3]{5} , x_2=-1

If you need complex roots, then

x_{3,4}=\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{5}\pm i\sqrt{3\sqrt[3]{25}}}{2}   ,\\ \\x_{5,6}=\dfrac{1\pm i\sqrt{3}}{2}.
