Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the cubic equation \(3x^3 - x^2 + 27x - 9 = 0\), we can use numerical methods or a library that handles polynomial equations. The numpy library in Python provides a convenient function to find the roots of a polynomial. We will represent the polynomial with its coefficients and use numpy.roots to find all solutions, including imaginary ones.
Step 1: Identify the Roots of the Polynomial
The roots of the polynomial \(3x^3 - x^2 + 27x - 9 = 0\) are calculated as follows:
\(x_1 = 3.8257 \times 10^{-18} + 3i\)
\(x_2 = 3.8257 \times 10^{-18} - 3i\)
\(x_3 = 0.3333\)
Step 2: Interpret the Roots
The roots include two complex conjugate pairs and one real root:
The complex roots are \(x_1 = 3i\) and \(x_2 = -3i\).
The real root is \(x_3 = \frac{1}{3}\).
Final Answer
The solutions to the equation \(3x^3 - x^2 + 27x - 9 = 0\) are:
\[
\boxed{x = 3i, -3i, \frac{1}{3}}
\]
