. We're sorry about the hassle.
Nope Two of the roots are complex you made a mistake check it out again

sorry, forgot the i on both, i know they were, just lost the i in the formatting
x = 1 3 1 → x 3 = 1 → x 3 − 1 = 0 From Vieta,s formulas,we know that r 1 + r 2 + r 3 = 0 w h e r e r 1 , r 2 , r 3 = R o o t s so answer is 0
x = 1^(1/3)
cubing them,
x^3 = 1
x^3 - 1 = 0
(x-1)(x^2 + x + 1) = 0
x = 1
And,
x^2 + x + 1 = 0
x^2 + x + 1/4 = 1/4 - 1
(x+1/2)^2 = -3/4
x = (-1 +/- i√3)/2
Then, their sum is just, 1 + -1 or 0.

the sum of all possible values of a root of 1 is always 0 in this case, the roots are 1, 2 − 1 + 2 3 i and 2 − 1 − 2 3 i
