Show that if is a complex cube root of unity, then 2 + +

Question:

Show that if ω is a complex cube root of unity, then ω2 + ω + 1 = 0. Deduce that

(x + y + z)(x + wy + wz)(x + wy + wz) = = x3 + y3 + z3 - 3

Hence show that the three roots of

are x + (-3yz)x + (y + z) = 0 x = (y + 2), (wy + wz), (wy + wz) Use this result to obtain Cardano's solution

Express the remaining two roots in terms of u, v and ω and find the condition that all three roots are real.
