Answer:
-(-5) ± √13 5 ± √13
x = ----------------------- = ---------------
2(3) 6
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a quadratic equation, with coefficients 3, -5 and 1.
The discriminant, b² - 4ac, turns out to be (-5)² - 4(3)(1), or 25 - 12 = 13
Thus, the roots are:
-(-5) ± √13 5 ± √13
x = ----------------------- = ---------------
2(3) 6
