3x^2+8x+2=0

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable

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=40 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .

Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: -0.279240779943873, -2.38742588672279. Here's your graph:

Hope this helps.
