Question 1098235
hello fellow imgurian, Mewmus here.

we start by taking ax^2 + bx + c = 0, standard form of quadratic formula

now, the second part, the quadratic formula:  
x =      -b +- sqrt of b^2 - 4(ac) divide the whole thing by 2a
        
                  

your equation is 3k^2 - 1k - 9 = 0


this translates into    k = -(-1) +- sqrt (-1)^2 - 4 (3)(-9) divide the whole thing by 2(3)
                          
                                   

N will = 1
D will = 109  
M will = 6

solutions are (according to algebra.com) k=1.90671775148509,k=-1.57338441815176
