%N Decimal expansion of the real root of x^3 + x^2 - 3.

%C This equals r0 - 1/3 where r0 is the real root of y^3 - (1/3)*y - 79/27.

%C The other two roots are (w1*(79/2 + (9/2)*sqrt(77))^(1/3) + w2*(79/2 - (9/2)*sqrt(77))^(1/3) - 1)/3 = -1.08727970... + 1.1713121...*i, and its complex conjugate, where w1 = (-1 + sqrt(3)*i)/2 and w2 = (-1 - sqrt(3)*i)/2 are the complex roots of x^3 - 1.

%C Using hyperbolic function these roots are (-(1 + cosh((1/3)*arccosh(79/2))) + sqrt(3)*sinh((1/3)*arccosh(79/2))*i)/3, and its complex conjugate.

%F r = ((316 + 36*sqrt(77))^(1/3) + 4/(316 + 36*sqrt(77))^(1/3) - 2)/6.

%F r = ((79/2 + (9/2)*sqrt(77))^(1/3) + (79/2 - (9/2)*sqrt(77))^(1/3) - 1)/3.

%F r = (2*cosh((1/3)*arccosh(79/2)) - 1)/3.
