1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find one root of the equation x3+2x3x26=0x^3 + 2x - 3x^2 - 6 = 0. The possible roots are 1, -1, -3, and
3.

2. Solution Steps

We can test the given options to see which one satisfies the equation.
* Test x=1x = 1:
13+2(1)3(1)26=1+236=601^3 + 2(1) - 3(1)^2 - 6 = 1 + 2 - 3 - 6 = -6 \neq 0. So, x=1x = 1 is not a root.
* Test x=1x = -1:
(1)3+2(1)3(1)26=1236=120(-1)^3 + 2(-1) - 3(-1)^2 - 6 = -1 - 2 - 3 - 6 = -12 \neq 0. So, x=1x = -1 is not a root.
* Test x=3x = -3:
(3)3+2(3)3(3)26=2763(9)6=276276=660(-3)^3 + 2(-3) - 3(-3)^2 - 6 = -27 - 6 - 3(9) - 6 = -27 - 6 - 27 - 6 = -66 \neq 0. So, x=3x = -3 is not a root.
* Test x=3x = 3:
33+2(3)3(3)26=27+63(9)6=27+6276=03^3 + 2(3) - 3(3)^2 - 6 = 27 + 6 - 3(9) - 6 = 27 + 6 - 27 - 6 = 0. So, x=3x = 3 is a root.
Therefore, one root of the equation is x=3x=3.
