Also, use Erica Meltzer's grammar books and do all the question bank questions you can find. That is the standard for breaking 700+ in English.
The third way that no one has mentioned is to use the quadratic formula to find a and c. It's fairly quick as well once you get b=(31-2a)/3 and substitute it ba…
Isn't the original function a quartic function though?
