x  + 27 = 0
x3+27=0x^{3} + 27 = 0
Detail solution
Given the equation
x3+27=0x^{3} + 27 = 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:
x33=273\sqrt[3]{x^{3}} = \sqrt[3]{-27}
or
x=313x = 3 \sqrt[3]{-1}
Expand brackets in the right part
x = -3*1^1/3

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

All other 2 root(s) is the complex numbers.
do replacement:
z=xz = x
then the equation will be the:
z3=27z^{3} = -27
Any complex number can presented so:
z=reipz = r e^{i p}
substitute to the equation
r3e3ip=27r^{3} e^{3 i p} = -27
where
r=3r = 3
- the magnitude of the complex number
Substitute r:
e3ip=1e^{3 i p} = -1
Using Euler’s formula, we find roots for p
isin(3p)+cos(3p)=1i \sin{\left(3 p \right)} + \cos{\left(3 p \right)} = -1
so
cos(3p)=1\cos{\left(3 p \right)} = -1
and
sin(3p)=0\sin{\left(3 p \right)} = 0
then
p=2πN3+π3p = \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:
z1=3z_{1} = -3
z2=3233i2z_{2} = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3 \sqrt{3} i}{2}
z3=32+33i2z_{3} = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3 \sqrt{3} i}{2}
do backward replacement
z=xz = x
x=zx = z

The final answer:
x1=3x_{1} = -3
x2=3233i2x_{2} = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3 \sqrt{3} i}{2}
x3=32+33i2x_{3} = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3 \sqrt{3} i}{2}
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced cubic equation
px2+qx+v+x3=0p x^{2} + q x + v + x^{3} = 0
where
p=bap = \frac{b}{a}
p=0p = 0
q=caq = \frac{c}{a}
q=0q = 0
v=dav = \frac{d}{a}
v=27v = 27
Vieta Formulas
