    x⁶- x³ = 2 is a 6ᵗʰ order polynomial, so there are 6 roots. Two complex roots are missing from the solution.
    The two missing complex roots come from
    x³ = 2
    x₅,₆ = cbrt(2)e^(±2πi/3)
    x₅ = cbrt(2)[-½ + i sqrt(3)/2]
    x₆ = cbrt(2)[-½ - i sqrt(3)/2]
    These roots can also come from factoring:
    x³ - 2 = [x - cbrt(2)][x² + cbrt(2)x + cbrt(4)]
    and obtaining the quadratic roots
    x =
    ½[-cbrt(2)±i sqrt(3)•cbrt(2)]

    There are 6 roots. Mr has not solved the equation x^3 - 2=0 with all the roots

      You are correct, he did leave out the other two solutions for x^3=2, he only did the real solution

    The equation being of order 6, 2 more roots in the complex plane are needed. Those come from x³=2, which has the solutions
    x=2^(⅓)·e^(2πin/3) for n=0,±1.
    The n=0 solution is in the video. The other 2 are
    x=2^(-⅔)·(-1±i√3)
    You can also get these roots from
    0=x³-2=[x-2^(⅓)][x²+2^(⅓)·x+2^(⅔)].
    The 2 extra roots come from the quadratic.

    The missing roots come from his partial solution to x^3 = 2, which has 3 roots, not just x = 2^(1/3). You could get 3 roots by factoring x^3-2=0 (after writing 2 in the form c = (2^(1/3))^3, so it becomes x^3 - c^3=0 and factors as (x-c)(x^2+xc+c^2) = 0. Solving the quadratic part is annoying, but straightforward.

    Higher Mathematics doesn't usually miss stuff like this, I watch a lot of his videos. I noticed the two missing roots right after he got the first one, but figured he would come back to them. As someone else pointed out, the remaining quadratic is messy - it has cube-root coefficient/constants - but a careful use of parentheses and the rules of indices and you can harvest them. I used polynomial long division (x^3 - 2) divided by [ x - 2^(1/3) ] to get X^2 + [ 2^(1/3) ] X - [ 2^(1/3) ]^2 = 0 and used the quadratic formula from there. to get the two remaining +/- roots.

    Highly doubt this is an Oxford Entrance exam question. Maybe if we open the solution space to the complex numbers.
    We have a quadratic equation in x³, so we have 6 solutions in the complex space.
    A= x³; A²-A=2 or A(A-1)=2 has two real solutions: A=2 and A=-1
    x³=-1 has one real solution '-1 and two complex solutions -1/2 +/- i V3/2 (= cos a + i sin a, where a = 2pi/3)
    x³= 2 has the same solutions, each time multiplied by - 2^(1/3)

    Why does your Argand Diagram show 6 roots and you find only 4? A 6th order polynomial has 6 roots. I'm afraid you would not be reading Maths at Oxford!

    1 has 3 cube roots: 1, -1/2 +/- irt3/2. cube rt 2 is each of these multiplied by the basic cube rt of 2, 1.2599.
    cube rt of -1 : -1, 1/2 +/- irt3/2. Then they will consider marking your next answer. Hard luck!

    Why the roundabout process of factoring t^2 - t - 2 = 0?
    It very apparent that the factors are (t -2) and (t + 1), if you know how to factor, not figure.

    Who agrees with me? This guy is the Bob Ross of math! Love your videos. It’s a 6th exp so it should have six solutions. In the beginning where X^3=2 shouldn’t you have another complex set. Keep the videos coming sir.

      The problem is very easy. Are you sure it is an OU entry exam question? And your solution is incomplete: x^3-2=0 has three solutions, one real, two complex. Otherwise, the video has the length (10 minutes) and quality that I expect from Higher Mathematics.

      What he did was take the factors for his created equations. By changing -t into -2t+t it enabled this.
      (t^2-2t)+(t-2) He could take the "t" factor out of the first equation and the implied 1 out of the second which could have been written as ((1)t-(1)2). without changing the second equation. This could also be written as ((1)(t-2)) if that would be easier to see. I hope this makes more sense now 🙏
