The given equation is x2+px+1=0

Given that one root is cube of the other root. 

suppose that the roots are α,α3

Sum of the roots is α+α3=-p and the product of the roots is α·α3=1α4=1

Hence, α=1 ,-1 i,-i

When α=1p=-2

When α=-1p=2

When α=±i, the value of pis zero.

Therefore, the possible value of p are 0,-2,2
