12x^2= 48
12x^2-48-0
Find the roots of the equation by quadratic formula

a= 12 , b= 0 , c= -48

b^2-4ac= 0 + 2304
b^2-4ac= 2304
%09sqrt%28%092304%09%29=%0948%09
x=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29
x1=%28-b%2Bsqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29
x1=( 0 + 48 )/ 24
x1= 2.00
x1=%28-b-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29
x2=( 0 -48 ) / 24
x2= -2.00
