Solve using the quadratic formula and round your answers to the nearest tenth:
\n" ); document.write( "3x^2 + 4x - 2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "The quadratic formula:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-4+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In this problem a=3; b=4; c=-2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-4+%2B-+sqrt%284%5E2-4%2A3%2A-2+%29%29%2F%282%2A3%29+\"$
