Is this correct? Thanks for your time. 

'Fraid it isn't. You've got an extra 
"2" factor before the radical.  Let's 
go through it:

The quadratic formula is:
                  ______ 
            -b ± Öb²-4ac
        x = —————————————
                2a 

where a = 3; b = -2; c = 1

                      _____________ 
             -(-2) ± Ö(-2)²-4(3)(1)
        x = ————————————————————————
                     2(3) 
                  ____ 
             2 ± Ö4-12
        x = ————————————
                 6

                  __ 
             2 ± Ö-8
        x = —————————
                6

                   _ 
             2 ± iÖ8
        x = —————————
                6

                   ___
             2 ± iÖ4·2
        x = ———————————
                 6

                     _
             2    2iÖ2
        x = ——— ± —————
             6      6


                     _
             1     iÖ2
        x = ——— ± —————
             3      3


                   _
             1    Ö2
        x = ——— ± ———·i
