DISCUSS PROVE: The Depressed Cubic The most generalcubic (third-degree) equation with rational coefficientscan be written asx3 ax2 bx c 0 (a) Prove that if we replace x by X a/3 and simplify, weend up with an equation that doesnt have an X2 term,that is, an equation of the formX3 pX q 0This is called a depressed cubic, because we havedepressed the quadratic term.(b) Use the procedure described in part (a) to depress theequation x3 6x2 9x 4 0.
