Answer:

-1 and 4/3

Explanation:

Given the quadratic equation;

f(x) = 3x^2-x-4

To get all potential roots, we will equate f(x) = 0

3x^2-x-4 = 0

3x^2-4x+3x-4 = 0

x(3x-4)+1(3x-4) = 0

(x+1)(3x-4) = 0

x+1= 0 and 3x-4 = 0

x = -1 and 3x = 4

x = -1 and x= 4/3

Hence the potential roots are -1 and 4/3
