Step 1
a)
Recall the following.
The solution for x3=f(a) are as follows.
x=f(a)3,f(a)313i2,f(a)31+3i2
Obtain the zeros as follows.
x3+216=0
x3=216
x=2163,216313i2,21631+3i2
x=6,6×13i2,6×1+3i2
x=6,3+33i,333i
Step 2
(b)
Recall the following.
a3+b3=(a+b)(a2ab+b2)
Obtain the factorization as follows.
F(x)=x3+216
=x3+63
=(x+6)(x26x+36)
