Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 9x + 3 = 0 is a quadratic whose coefficients are a = 1, b = -9 and c = 3.
Use the quadratic formula to solve it.
The discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, is 81 - 4(1)(3), or 81 - 12, or 69.
The roots are:
-b ± √(discriminant)
x = -------------------------------
2a
And these roots in this particular problem are:
-(-9) ± √69 9 ± √69
= ------------------------------- = ----------------
2(1) 2
