Factor the polynomial completely.

Compare the above equation with standard quadratic equation
we get
a = -3
b = -10
c = 8

Discriminant: =
Discriminant (196) is greater than zero. The equation has two solutions.

or
x1,2 = (10 � 14) / 2*-3
or
x1 = 24 / -6 = -4
x2 = -4 / -6 = -2/-3=2/3=0.666
or
x1,2 = -4, 0.666

Equation factored:
-3(x+4)(x-0.666)
