m

2

−3m−1=0

m

2

−3m=1 → (1)

Third term =(

2

1

coeeficientofm)

2

(

2

1

×(−3))

2

=(

2

−3

)

2

=

4

9

Adding

4

9

to both sides of equation (1), we get

m

2

−3m+

4

9

=1+

4

9

∴ m

2

−3m+

4

9

=

4

4+9

∴ (m−

2

3

)

2

=

4

13

Taking square roots on both sides

∴ m−

2

3

2

13

∴ m=

2

3

+

2

13

or m=

2

3

2

13

m=

2

3+

13

,

2

3−

13

are the roots of the given quadratic equation.
