<div class="block">Class Cubic solves for the real roots of a cubic equation with real
coefficients. The cubic equation is of the form
<P>
<I>ax</I><SUP>3</SUP> + <I>bx</I><SUP>2</SUP> + <I>cx</I> + <I>d</I> = 0
<P>
To solve a cubic equation, construct an instance of class Cubic; call the
Cubic object's <TT>solve()</TT> method, passing in the coefficients <I>a</I>,
<I>b</I>, <I>c</I>, and <I>d</I>; and obtain the roots from the Cubic
object's fields. The number of (real) roots, either 1 or 3, is stored in
field <TT>nRoots</TT>. If there is one root, it is stored in field
<TT>x1</TT>, and fields <TT>x2</TT> and <TT>x3</TT> are set to NaN. If there
are three roots, they are stored in fields <TT>x1</TT>, <TT>x2</TT>, and
<TT>x3</TT> in descending order.
<P>
The same Cubic object may be used to solve several cubic equations. Each time
the <TT>solve()</TT> method is called, the solution is stored in the Cubic
object's fields.
<P>
The formulas for the roots of a cubic equation come from:
<P>
E. Weisstein. "Cubic formula." From <I>MathWorld</I>--A Wolfram Web Resource.
