Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
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=28 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 4.64575131106459, -0.645751311064591. Here's your graph:

To be more clear, the solutions are:
and
