How to use Cubic Equation Solver

Enter the coefficients a, b, c and d and the solver returns all three roots along with the discriminant.

Frequently asked questions

What does a cubic solver find?

All three roots of ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0, which may be three real roots or one real and two complex roots.

What method does it use?

The discriminant determines the root type, then Cardano's formula or the trigonometric method computes the roots.

Can a cubic have complex roots?

Yes — when the discriminant is negative, two of the roots form a complex-conjugate pair.
