Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
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=1297 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 2.41782385089485, -3.58449051756152. Here's your graph:

================
x = negative result --> = log of a negative number
-----
x =~ 2.41 is a valid result
