   6    3        
- x  - x  + 2 = 0
$$- x^{6} - x^{3} + 2 = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$- x^{6} - x^{3} + 2 = 0$$
Do replacement
$$v = x^{3}$$
then the equation will be the:
$$- v^{2} - v + 2 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
$$a*v^2 + b*v + c = 0$$
A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$v_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$v_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where $D = b^2 - 4 a c$ is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -1$$
$$b = -1$$
$$c = 2$$
, then
$$D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = $$
$$\left(-1\right)^{2} - \left(-1\right) 4 \cdot 2 = 9$$
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
$$v_1 = \frac{(-b + \sqrt{D})}{2 a}$$
$$v_2 = \frac{(-b - \sqrt{D})}{2 a}$$
or
$$v_{1} = -2$$
Simplify
$$v_{2} = 1$$
Simplify
The final answer:
Because
$$v = x^{3}$$
then
$$x_{1} = \sqrt[3]{v_{1}}$$
$$x_{3} = \sqrt[3]{v_{2}}$$
then:
$$x_{1} = \frac{0}{1} + \frac{1 \left(-2\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{1} = \sqrt[3]{-2}$$
$$x_{3} = \frac{0}{1} + \frac{1 \cdot 1^{\frac{1}{3}}}{1} = 1$$
