Question 327150
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Put it in standard form, namely:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ax^2\ +\ bx +\ c\ =\ 0]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3x^2\ -\ 6x -\ 1\ =\ 0]


Since this ugly thing doesn't factor, you need the quadratic formula.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ =\ \frac{-(-6)\ \pm\ \sqrt{(-6)^2\ -\ 4(3)(-1)}}{2(3)}]


Do the arithmetic and then simplify.
