Abstract
We provide a solvability criterion for a cubic equation in domains Z p, Zp, Qp. We show that, in principal, the Cardano method is not always applicable for such equations. Moreover, the numbers of solutions of the cubic equation in domains Zp, Z p, Qp are provided. Since p is a subgroup of p, we generalize Serre's and Sun's results concerning with cubic equations over the finite field p. Finally, all cubic equations, for which the Cardano method could be applied, are described and the p-adic Cardano formula is provided for those cubic equations.
