Can you please help me factor 2t^2 - 19 - 6t=2t^2-6t-19
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%286%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-6%29%5E2-4%2A2%2A%28-19%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A2%29+
x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28+36%2B152+%29%29%2F%284%29+
x+=+%283+%2B-+sqrt%28+47+%29%29%2F%282%29+
hence the factors are
[x-{3+sqrt(47)}/2][x-{3-sqrt(47)}/2]
