How do I find the X intercepts of the cubic function -2x^3 + 6x^2 - 3

Question

There's a formula, but it's too damn complicated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_formula#General_formula_for_roots Just do trial and error. The moment you find one root, divide the equation by (x - the root) and get a quadratic equation.

Keep in mind that you only have to find ONE.  After that, it's quadratic and the other two are easy.
