Quadratic Equation

A quadratic equation in the form:


ax^2+bx+c=0

Can be solved by using the formula:


x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

We are given the function:


f(x)=3x^2-x+3

We can identify the variables a=3, b=-1, c=3. Applying the formula:


x=\frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt[]{(-1)^2-4\cdot3\cdot3}}{2\cdot3}

Calculating:


\begin{gathered} x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt[]{1-36}}{6} \\ x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt[]{-35}}{6} \end{gathered}

The square root of a negative number results in an imaginary quantity. Separating the roots and using the imaginary symbol i.


\begin{gathered} x_1=(1)/(6)+\frac{\sqrt[]{35}}{6}i \\ x_2=(1)/(6)-\frac{\sqrt[]{35}}{6}i \end{gathered}
