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
ax³ + bx² + cx+d=0
(1)
To find the roots of Equation (1), we first get rid of the quadratic term (x²) by making the
substitution
x=y=
to obtain
b
3a
where
b
d{y− b )' + b[{y_b )² +c{y − 3 ) + d.
+d=0
Expanding Equation (3) and simplifying, we obtain the following equation

y³ + ey+f=0
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
26³ bc
27a 3a
Now, reduce the above equation using Vieta's substitution
y=z+=
For the time being, the constant s is undefined. Substituting into the depressed cubic
Equation (5), we get
( ² + ² ) ² + √² + ² } + s =
f=

Expanding out and multiplying both sides by z³, we get
zº +(3s +e)z¹ + f2³ + s(3s+e)2² +s³ = 0
Now, let s= (s is no longer undefined) to simplify the equation into a tri-quadratic
equation.
25 + 12³ - 2/7 = 0
(9)
By making one more substitution, w=z³, we now have a general quadratic equation which
can be solved using the quadratic formula.

Once you obtain the solution to this quadratic equation, back substitute using the previous
substitutions to obtain the roots to the general cubic equation.

Note: You will get two roots for w as Equation (10) is a quadratic equation. Using
Equation (11) would then give you three roots for each of the two roots of w, hence giving
you six root values for z. But the six root values of z would give you six values of y
(Equation (6)); but three values of y will be identical to the other three. So one gets only
three values of y, and hence three values of x. (Equation (2))
