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: since we cannot take the square root of a negative value, we must factor to to make the radicand positive. 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
