Check out <A  rel=nofollow HREF=Cubic-equation.wikipedia>this article</A> and follow the formula. It becomes easier if the square component is missing, as it is in your case. I cannot see any easier solution. I wonder if you misinterpret the question that was asked. What was the text of the question exactly? </SPAN>\n" );
