a=1, b=0, c=−18, d=−32  Δ=b^2 −3ac=−3×1×(−18)=54  k=((9abc−2b^3 −27a^2 d)/(2(√(∣Δ∣^3 ))))=((−27×(−32))/(2(√(54^3 ))))=((4(√6))/9)≈1.09  since Δ>0 and ∣k∣>1, there is a single root:  x_1 =((√(54))/3)×(^3 (√(((4(√6))/9)+(√((((4(√6))/9))^2 −1))))+^3 (√(((4(√6))/9)−(√((((4(√6))/9))^2 −1)))))  =(√6)×(^3 (√((4(√6)+(√(15)))/9))+^3 (√((4(√6)−(√(15)))/9)))  ≈4.94662127666289
