Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=112 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 2.29150262212918, -8.29150262212918. Here's your graph:


Additionally,
(x + 3)^2 = 28
x+3=+/- sqrt(28)
x=-3+/-sqrt(28)
x=-3+/- 2sqrt(7)
