The Cubic Formula is a mathematical expression used to find the roots of a cubic equation, which is an equation of the form ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0 . Unlike the quadratic formula for second-degree equations, the cubic formula can be more complex due to the involvement of cube roots and multiple possible solutions. To solve a cubic equation using the cubic formula, one typically transforms the equation into a simpler form, often by eliminating the x^2 term. This process allows for the application of specific formulas that yield the roots, which can be real or complex numbers, depending on the coefficients a, b, c, and d .
