Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for x:


Starting with the general quadratic



the general solution using the quadratic equation is:





So lets solve ( notice , , and )




Plug in a=4, b=-3, and c=3



Negate -3 to get 3



Square -3 to get 9 (note: remember when you square -3, you must square the negative as well. This is because .)



Multiply to get



Combine like terms in the radicand (everything under the square root)



Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying the square root, check out this solver)



Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8



After simplifying, the quadratic has roots of

or

Notice if we graph the quadratic , we get

graph of

And we can see that there are no real roots
