    The fourth option.

    The roots of x^3 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15 are - 3, + √5 and - √5.

    To find the roots you can factor the polynomial in this way:

    x^3 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15 = x^2 (x + 3) - 5 (x + 3) = (x + 3) (x^2 - 5)

    The roots are the values of x that make the function = 0.

    Then the roots are

    x + 3 = 0 = = > x = 3, and

    x^2 - 5 = 0 = = > x = + / - √5.
