Let p ( x ) = x 3 + x 2 2 x 1, we have
p ( t + t 1 ) = t 3 + t 2 + t + 1 + t 1 + t 2 + t 3 = t 7 1 t 3 ( t 1 )
The RHS has roots of the form t = e ± 2 k π 7 i ( coming from the t 7 1 factor in numerator ) for k=1,2,3. So p(x) has roots of the form
e 2 k π 7 i + e 2 k π 7 i = 2 cos ( 2 k π 7 )
for k=1,2,3
