You asked:

Solve the equation \({x}^{3} = {27}^{0}\) for the variable \(x\).

MathBot Answer:

The solutions are given by the formula: \[x = \cos{\left(\frac{2 \pi k}{3} \right)} + \sin{\left(\frac{2 \pi k}{3} \right)} i\] where \(k\) is an integer in \(0 \le k < 3\).

There is \(1\) real solution.

There are \(2\) solutions with nonzero imaginary part.


Real solutions: \[\begin{aligned}x &= 1\end{aligned}\]


Solutions with nonzero imaginary part: \[\begin{aligned}x &= - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3} i}{2} \\&\approx -0.5 + 0.8660254 i\\x &= - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3} i}{2} \\&\approx -0.5 -0.8660254 i\end{aligned}\]


\(i\) is the imaginary unit, defined as \(i^2 = -1\).
