CAS Syntax

SolveCubic[ <Cubic Polynomial> ]
Solves a given cubic polynomial and returns a list of all solutions.
Example:
SolveCubic[x³ - 1] yields { 1, \frac{1}{2} (\sqrt{3} i -1) , \frac{1}{2} (\sqrt{3} (-i) -1) } .
Note:
You will often need to simplify your answers manually, e.g. SolveCubic[x³ + x² + x + 1].
