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=16 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 2, 0.666666666666667. Here's your graph:


Therefore, the roots are 2 and 0.7 (between 0 and 1).
