Solve by applying the quadratic formula to give:
x = {0.729, -3.729}
we can throw out the negative solution leaving:
x = 0.729
.
Details of quadratic formula follows:

Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=19.873127312 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .

Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 0.728964294913671, -3.72896429491367. Here's your graph:
