Root-finding algorithm cubic polynomial may involve non-real cube roots). For polynomials of degree five or higher Abel–Ruffini theorem asserts that there is, in general, no radical expression of the roots. So, except for very low degrees, root finding of polynomials consists of finding approximations of the roots. By the fundamental theorem of algebra, one knows that a polynomial of degree has at most real or complex roots, and the this number is reached for almost all polynomials. It follows that the problem of root finding for polynomials may be split in three different subproblems; For finding one root, Newton's method and other
Cube root or the other of the two complex cube roots of 1. For complex numbers, the principal cube root is usually defined as the cube root that has the greatest real part, or, equivalently, the cube root whose argument has the least absolute value. It is related to the principal value of the natural logarithm by the formula If we write "x" as where "r" is a non-negative real number and "θ" lies in the range then the principal complex cube root is This means that in polar coordinates, we are taking the cube root of the radius and dividing the
