What is the condition for the cubic equation ax^3 +bx^2 +cx+d = 0

to have real roots? (not Graphically but in terms of the coefficients a,b,c,d, ie., like we have for a quadratic eqn. that D>0)

Question

What is the condition for the cubic equation ax^3 +bx^2 +cx+d = 0 to have real roots? (not Graphically but in terms of the coefficients a,b,c,d, ie., like we have for a quadratic eqn. that D>0)

Pratik Tibrewal · Answer

as such there is no single condition which we can use to solve the cubic.

But we can approach it in some algebraic steps:
1. differentiate, and the quadratic obtained should have D>0

2. Let's say the two roots of the quadratic obtained above is x1,x2.

Then if P(x1). P(x2) < = 0 then it has 3 real roots.
