Deducing the value of one parameter

I'm working with Javascript and I need some help because I'm not great at math. I have the following code:



let x = (1 - t) * (1 - t) * (1 - t) * x0 
+ 3 * (1 - t) * (1 - t) * t * x1
+ 3 * (1 - t) * t * t * x2
+ t * t * t * x3;


I know the values of x, x0, x1, x2 and x3. Is it possible to deduce the value of t?

  • Do you know Cardano's method to solve third degree equation.

    First you should expand out the expression so it has the following form: $at^3 + bt^2 + ct + (d-x) = 0$, where $a,b,c,d$ will be functions of $x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3$. Then you can use Cardano's method. You can implement it yourself, but you may even be able to find template code online or a built in library in JS.

First you should expand out the expression so it has the following form: $at^3 + bt^2 + ct + (d-x) = 0$, where $a,b,c,d$ will be functions of $x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3$. Then you can use Cardano's method. You can implement it yourself, but you may even be able to find template code online or a built in library in JS.
