For , a root would have valuation zero because five is a unit. It would therefore reduce to a unit cube modulo nine. The only cube residue classes modulo nine are , none equal to five. Thus no root exists in .
For , the valuation equation would be , impossible because the valuation of a nonzero element of is an integer. Thus no root exists in .
For , and the derivative . Hensel's lemma lifts this simple root to a root in . Thus a root exists in .
