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

%C The complex roots are (w1*(4 + (2/9)*sqrt(318))^(1/3) + w2*(4 - (2/9)*sqrt(318))^(1/3))/2 = -0.5826865215... + 0.7201185646...*i, and its complex conjugate, where w1 = (-1 + sqrt(3)*i)/2 = exp((2/3)*Pi*i) and w2 = (-1 - sqrt(3)*i)/2 are the complex roots of x^3 - 1.

%C Using hyperbolic functions these roots are (1/6)*sqrt(6)*(-cosh((1/3)*arccosh(3*sqrt(6))) + sqrt(3)*sinh((1/3)*arccosh(3*sqrt(6)))*i), and its complex conjugate.

%F r = ((108 + 6*sqrt(318))^(1/3) + 6*(108 + 6*sqrt(318))^(-1/3))/6.

%F r = (3*(4 + (2/9)*sqrt(318))^(1/3) + 2*(4 + (2/9)*sqrt(318))^(-1/3))/6.

%F r = ((4 + (2/9)*sqrt(318))^(1/3) + (4 - (2/9)*sqrt(318))^(1/3))/2.

%F r = (1/3)*sqrt(6)*cosh((1/3)*arccosh(3*sqrt(6))).
