Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 1x%5E2%2B-10x%2B6+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-10%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A6=76.

Discriminant d=76 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28--10%2B-sqrt%28+76+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-10%29%2Bsqrt%28+76+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+9.35889894354067
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-10%29-sqrt%28+76+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+0.641101056459326

Quadratic expression 1x%5E2%2B-10x%2B6 can be factored:
1x%5E2%2B-10x%2B6+=+1%28x-9.35889894354067%29%2A%28x-0.641101056459326%29
Again, the answer is: 9.35889894354067, 0.641101056459326. Here's your graph:
