are the two roots of the quadratic equation



Your coefficients are:

, , and

Just plug in the values and do the arithmetic.

You can, if you like, multiply your original equation by 3 to eliminate the fractional coefficients and then use:

, , and

in the formula. Given error-free arithmetic you will get the same results either way, but the second way is easier and less error-prone.
