Answer:


(5+i√(3))/(2)}

Explanation:

I assume you want the roots. Here we go:

Use the quadratic formula:
(-(-30) plus or minus √((-30)^2-4(6)(42)) )/(2\cdot6).

The discriminant is 900 - 1008, or -108 (so we will need i, the complex number that means
√(-1)).


This means on the top you get 30 + 6isqrt3 and on the bottom you get 12.

So the fraction is
(30+6i√(3))/(12)=\boxed{(5+i√(3))/(2)}.\blacksquare

Note: This is just one of the roots, I am sure you can find the second one!
