cubicequation 0.0.3

A Python module for the exact solutions of a cubic equation

Python cubic equation solver for exact values

A Python module for the exact solutions of a cubic equation: a x^3 + b x^2 + c x + d = 0

Usage

Calculate cubic solution

The solutions are three symexpress3 objects: x1Optimized, x2Optimized, x3Optimized

>>> import cubicequation
>>> objCubic = cubicequation.CubicEquation()
>>> objCubic.a = "1"
>>> objCubic.b = "2"
>>> objCubic.c = "3"
>>> objCubic.d = "4"
>>> objCubic.calcSolutions()
>>> print( f"x1: {objCubic.x1Optimized}\nx2: {objCubic.x2Optimized}\nx3: {objCubic.x3Optimized}\n" )
x1: (-2/3) + (15 * 6^^(1/2) + 35)^^(1/3) * (-1/3) + (1/3) * (15 * 6^^(1/2) + (-35))^^(1/3)
