1. x^3 + 5x^2 - 20 = 0

2. x^3 - x^2 + x - 1 = 0

3. x^3 + 3x^2 + x + 3 = 0

4. x^3 - 2x^2 + x - 2 = 0

5. x^3 - 6x^2 - 16x + 96 = 0

    I = sqrt (-1)

    i^2 = - 1

    (-i) ^2 = (-i) (-i) = i^2 = - 1

    (-i) ^3 = (-i) (-i) (-i) = (-i) (i^2) = i

    use these facts to find which equation is correct if x = - i

    i bet on 2,3 or 4
