%28x-1%2F3%29%28x%2B1%2F3%29
x%5E2+%2B+%281%2F3%29x+-+%281%2F3%29x+-+%281%2F3%29%281%2F3%29
since + %281%2F3%29x+-+%281%2F3+%29x+=+0
we will have:
x%5E2+-+1%2F9 here, we can solve the quadratic function as:
x%5E2+=1%2F9
x+%281%2C2%29+=+sqrt%281%2F9%29
x%281%2C2%29+=+%28%2B-sqrt%281%29%2Fsqrt%289%29%29
x%281%29=+%2B+%281%2F3%29
x%282%29+=+-+%281%2F3%29
