if x=-3 then x+3 is a factor.
divide the equation by (x+3) and get x^2-6 x+13
which has two complex roots

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 : .

The discriminant -16 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.


In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -16 is + or - .

The solution is
