Use the quadratic formula. The solutions of



are

.

Your problem



So:

, , and

Just put the values into the formula and do the arithmetic. Leave it in simplest radical form for the exact answer, and run them through a calculator to get the numeric approximations. Refer to your instructor for the desired precision on your approximations.
