ANSWER:

The roots of
6 x^(2)-9 x+2=0 are
(9+√(33))/(4), (9-√(33))/(4)

SOLUTION:

Given, quadratic equation is
6 x^(2)-9 x+2=0 --- eqn (1)

We need to find the roots of given quadratic equation using quadratic formula.

Quadratic formula for general quadratic equation
a x^(2)+b x+c=0 is
X=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^(2)-4 a c}}{2 a}

Here, for eqn (1) a = 6, b= -9 and c = 2


X=\frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{(-9)^(2)-4 *6 * 2}}{2 x 2}


X=(9 \pm √(81-48))/(4)


\begin{array}{l}{X=(9 \pm √(33))/(4)} \\ {X=(9+√(33))/(4), (9-√(33))/(4)}\end{array}

Hence the roots of
6 x^(2)-9 x+2=0 are
(9+√(33))/(4), (9-√(33))/(4)
