Solving a Cubic Equation by a general formula |
At this web page you are able to solve a cubic equation. A cubic equation or an equation of the third degree can be described by the following general expression: F(X) = AX3 + BX2 + CX + D X is an unknown real or complex number. F(X) is a function of X. May also have the symbol 'Y'. A, B, C and D are all real numbers of constants. If you set F(X) = 0, the cubic equation can be solved. Example X3 + X2 - X - 1 = 0 This equation has got three real roots: X1 = -1, X2 = -1 and X3 = 1. I've drawn the graph of F(X) = X3 + X2 - X - 1, [-2,2]: AX3 + BX2 + CX + D = 0 Calculation Input the values of A, B, C and D. To start the calculation please press the button. Algebra |
