Solved by pluggable solver: Quadratic Formula

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=1, b=6, and c=8

Square 6 to get 36

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 1 to get 2

So now the expression breaks down into two parts

or

Lets look at the first part:

Add the terms in the numerator

Divide

So one answer is

Now lets look at the second part:

Subtract the terms in the numerator

Divide

So another answer is

So our solutions are:
