Answered by Reiny
are you solving
-4x^3 + 15x^2 - 1 = 0 ?
then
4x^3 - 15x^2 + 1 = 0
to solve cubics I use this webpage cubic equation calculator, since there is no easy way to do this.

It showed that x = -1/4 is a solution, so divide
4x^3 - 15x^2 + 1 by (4x+1) to reduce it down to a quadratic, then use the quadratic formula to find the other two roots.
