Roots of Cubic Equations

The video tutorial explores a complex numbers problem involving a cubic equation with distinct roots alpha, beta, and gamma. It begins by setting up the equation and proving that beta plus gamma equals zero. The tutorial then demonstrates that alpha is a real number and explains why beta and gamma are purely imaginary. Finally, it calculates the coefficients A and B of the original equation using the relationships between the roots.

What is the nature of the roots alpha, beta, and gamma in the given cubic equation?

• Roots are not real

• Two roots are equal
