%N Decimal expansion of the real part of the complex roots of x^3-x^2+1.

%C The real root is A075778 (negated). The imaginary parts are plus or minus A210463.

%C Real root of 8x^3 - 8x^2 + 2x - 1: an algebraic number of degree 3. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Apr 14 2014

%C The denominator of this algebraic number is 2, since its double is an algebraic integer. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Nov 12 2014
