A cubic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 3. A univariate cubic polynomial has the form f(x) = a_3 x^3 + a_2 x^2 + a_1 x + a_0. An equation involving a cubic polynomial is called a cubic equation. A closed-form solution known as the cubic formula exists for the solutions of an arbitrary cubic equation.
