n  + 1 = 0
$$n^{3} + 1 = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$n^{3} + 1 = 0$$
Because equation degree is equal to = 3 - does not contain even numbers in the numerator, then
the equation has single real root.
Get the root 3-th degree of the equation sides:
We get:
$$\sqrt[3]{n^{3}} = \sqrt[3]{-1}$$
or
$$n = \sqrt[3]{-1}$$
Expand brackets in the right part
n = -1^1/3

We get the answer: n = (-1)^(1/3)

All other 2 root(s) is the complex numbers.
do replacement:
$$z = n$$
then the equation will be the:
$$z^{3} = -1$$
Any complex number can presented so:
$$z = r e^{i p}$$
substitute to the equation
$$r^{3} e^{3 i p} = -1$$
where
$$r = 1$$
- the magnitude of the complex number
Substitute r:
$$e^{3 i p} = -1$$
Using Euler’s formula, we find roots for p
$$i \sin{\left(3 p \right)} + \cos{\left(3 p \right)} = -1$$
so
$$\cos{\left(3 p \right)} = -1$$
and
$$\sin{\left(3 p \right)} = 0$$
then
$$p = \frac{2 \pi N}{3} + \frac{\pi}{3}$$
where N=0,1,2,3,...
Looping through the values of N and substituting p into the formula for z
Consequently, the solution will be for z:
$$z_{1} = -1$$
$$z_{2} = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3} i}{2}$$
$$z_{3} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3} i}{2}$$
do backward replacement
$$z = n$$
$$n = z$$

The final answer:
$$n_{1} = -1$$
$$n_{2} = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3} i}{2}$$
$$n_{3} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3} i}{2}$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced cubic equation
$$n^{3} + n^{2} p + n q + v = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 0$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 0$$
$$v = \frac{d}{a}$$
$$v = 1$$
Vieta Formulas
$$n_{1} + n_{2} + n_{3} = - p$$
$$n_{1} n_{2} + n_{1} n_{3} + n_{2} n_{3} = q$$
$$n_{1} n_{2} n_{3} = v$$
$$n_{1} + n_{2} + n_{3} = 0$$
$$n_{1} n_{2} + n_{1} n_{3} + n_{2} n_{3} = 0$$
$$n_{1} n_{2} n_{3} = 1$$
