Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
17 +2m^2 -m + m^2 +14
3m^2 -m + 31
now use quadratic formula

======================================================================

from this we can see that (b^2 - 4*a*c) < 0, that is,
(-1)^2 - 4*3*31 = -371 and
square root of -371 is undefined
