My best buddy for next week

How to solve this brain-wacking equation??
.
x^3 + (10^-7.5)x^2 - (3.162 x 10^-10)x - (3.1623x10^-22) = 0
.
Easy way out - use Microsoft excel to plot a graph....

  3. dissolve in water and do titration with standard to find unknown x

  4. Use the following commands for MATLAB:

    p = [a b c d] --this is to create a polynomial.

    then, roots(p) -- this is to ask matlab to compute the roots of p for you! =)
