The correct Answer is:
To find the real root of the equation \( ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0 \) given that \( x^2 + x + 1 \) is a factor, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the roots of the quadratic factor**: The quadratic equation \( x^2 + x + 1 = 0 \) can be solved using the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Here, \( a = 1 \), \( b = 1 \), and \( c = 1 \). Plugging in these values, we get: \[ x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1}}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4}}{2} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{-3}}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = \frac{-1 \pm i\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Thus, the roots are: \[ \omega = \frac{-1 + i\sqrt{3}}{2}, \quad \omega^2 = \frac{-1 - i\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 2. **Determine the remaining real root**: Since \( x^2 + x + 1 \) is a factor of the cubic polynomial, the remaining root (let's call it \( \alpha \)) must be real. The product of the roots of the cubic equation can be expressed as: \[ \text{Product of roots} = \alpha \cdot \omega \cdot \omega^2 \] We know that \( \omega \cdot \omega^2 = 1 \) (since \( \omega^3 = 1 \)). Therefore: \[ \alpha \cdot 1 = \alpha \] 3. **Use Vieta's formulas**: According to Vieta's formulas, the product of the roots of the polynomial \( ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0 \) is given by: \[ \text{Product of roots} = -\frac{d}{a} \] Thus, we have: \[ \alpha = -\frac{d}{a} \] 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the real root of the equation \( ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0 \) is: \[ \alpha = -\frac{d}{a} \]
