Question: VDW : P=(RT/V-b)-(a/V^2) At some specific temperature T, use VDW to find poles on the graph. I can't understand this: Q1: At a certain temperature
VDW :
P=(RT/V-b)-(a/V^2)
At some specific temperature T, use VDW to find poles on the graph.

I can't understand this:

Q1: At a certain temperature T, there are two poles, so why is the cubic equation for V? Isn't it possible to know the two poles only when the quadratic equation for V comes out??
Q2:Please tell me how to find the two poles
P=VbRTV2aUDW(Vp)T=(Vb)2RT+V32q=0RT joole
