Thanks. I still need to solve that cubic. The equation is the same as the one here: http://home.student.uu.se/maol9883/files/cubic.jpg
Those "square root"-terms make it possible for certain points (x0, y0) to become imaginary ---> three imaginary roots. Am I to conclude that I have solved it incorrectly in Maxima?
