Answer:

roots are ...

  • ±i√3/3
  • 3/4

Explanation:

The equation can be factored by grouping:

(12x^3 -9x^2) +(4x -3) = 0

3x^2(4x -3) +(4x -3) = 0

(3x^2 +1)(4x -3) = 0

The equation has roots that are the values of x making these factors zero:

3x^2 +1 = 0

x^2 = -1/3 = -3/9

x = ±(i/3)√3

and

4x -3 = 0

4x = 3

x = 3/4

The one real root is x = 3/4; the two complex roots are ±√3/3.
