%N A318732 Decimal expansion of the nontrivial real solution to x^6 - x^3 + x^2 + 2*x - 1 = 0.
%C A318732 The first part of Ramanujan's question 699 in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society (VII, 199) asked "Show that the roots of the equations x^6 - x^3 + x^2 + 2*x - 1 = 0, ... can be expressed in terms of radicals."
%C A318732 The polynomial includes a trivial factor, i.e., x^6 - x^3 + x^2 + 2*x - 1 = (x + 1) * (x^5 - x^4 + x^3 - 2*x^2 + 3*x - 1).
