how many solutions does this equation have x^3=-125?

All Answers 1

Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
It depends on the domain.

- Over the real numbers: 1 solution, x = −5.

- Over the complex numbers: 3 solutions (the three cube roots of −125),
x = −5, and x = 5/2 ± i(5√3/2).

(You can get them from x^3 + 125 = (x + 5)(x^2 − 5x + 25) and solving the quadratic.)
