A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant. The roots of the quadratic equation: k1=2aD−b k2=2a−D−b where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant. Because a=1 b=4 c=3 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(4)^2 - 4 * (1) * (3) = 4
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
k1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
k2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or k1=−1 k2=−3
