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=33 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 1.37228132326901, -4.37228132326901. Here's your graph:

----------
r = x
