Chapter 03.02 Solution of Cubic Equations After reading this chapter, you should be able to:
1. find the exact solution of a general cubic equation. How to Find the Exact Solution of a General Cubic Equation In this chapter, we are going to find the exact solution of a general cubic equation

Equation (4) is called the depressed cubic since the quadratic term is absent. Having the equation in this form makes it easier to solve for the roots of the cubic equation (Click here to know the history behind solving cubic equations exactly). First, convert the depressed cubic Equation (4) into the form
