Given the equation:
$$\left(2 x^{3} + 3 x^{2}\right) - 1 = 0$$
transform
$$\left(3 x^{2} + \left(2 x^{3} + 2\right)\right) - 3 = 0$$
or
$$\left(3 x^{2} + \left(2 x^{3} - 2 \left(-1\right)^{3}\right)\right) - 3 \left(-1\right)^{2} = 0$$
$$3 \left(x^{2} - \left(-1\right)^{2}\right) + 2 \left(x^{3} - \left(-1\right)^{3}\right) = 0$$
$$\left(x - 1\right) 3 \left(x + 1\right) + 2 \left(x + 1\right) \left(\left(x^{2} - x\right) + \left(-1\right)^{2}\right) = 0$$
Take common factor 1 + x from the equation
we get:
$$\left(x + 1\right) \left(3 \left(x - 1\right) + 2 \left(\left(x^{2} - x\right) + \left(-1\right)^{2}\right)\right) = 0$$
or
$$\left(x + 1\right) \left(2 x^{2} + x - 1\right) = 0$$
then:
$$x_{1} = -1$$
and also
we get the equation
$$2 x^{2} + x - 1 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{2} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{3} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 2$$
$$b = 1$$
$$c = -1$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(1)^2 - 4 * (2) * (-1) = 9
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x2 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x3 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or
$$x_{2} = \frac{1}{2}$$
$$x_{3} = -1$$
The final answer for 2*x^3 + 3*x^2 - 1 = 0:
$$x_{1} = -1$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{1}{2}$$
$$x_{3} = -1$$
