x^3 +ax^2 +bx+c=0  Let   x=((pt+q)/(t+1))  p^3 t^3 +3p^2 qt^2 +3pq^2 t+q^3   +a(t+1)(p^2 t^2 +2pqt+q^2 )  +b(pt+q)(t^2 +2t+1)  +c(t^3 +3t^2 +3t+1)    =  0  ⇒    (p^3 +ap^2 +bp+c)t^3   +(3p^2 q+ap^2 +2apq+bq+2bp+3c)t^2   +(3q^2 p+aq^2 +2apq+bp+2bq+3c)t  +(q^3 +aq^2 +bq+c) = 0  Let coeffs. of t^2  and t be zero.  Subtracting and adding them   3pq+a(p+q)+b=0   &  3pq(p+q)+a{(p+q)^2 −2pq}   +4apq+3b(p+q)+6c = 0  lets call  pq=m ,  p+q=s  ⇒    3m+as+b=0    ....(i)  3ms+a(s^2 −2m)+4am+3bs+6c=0  ⇒ am+bs+3c=0    ....(ii)  ⇒  s=((9c−ab)/(a^2 −3b))   ;  m=((b^2 −3ac)/(a^2 −3b))   Now  p,q  are roots of eq.     z^2 −sz+m=0     p,q = (s/2)±(√((s^2 /4)−m))    t^3 =−(((q^3 +aq^2 +bq+c)/(p^3 +ap^2 +bq+c)))     (t≠−1)     x=((pt+q)/(t+1)) .
