When dealing with cubics (ax^3 + bx^2 + cx +d) are there plug and chug formulas avalible to find:
1) Max and Min values (ie the turning points of the graph)
and
2) The area under the curve
Right now I have about 30+ cubic equations that I have the coefficients for but need to find 1 and 2. I dont want to go through each one by taking the derivitives etc ... I am just wanting to set something up in Excel where I can place the coefficients in certain columns and I will recieve the results for 1 and 2 automatically.
Any ideas??
Any and all help wanted.
Thanks in advance :)
