A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant. The roots of the quadratic equation: x1=2aD−b x2=2a−D−b where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant. Because a=3 b=0 c=−3 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(0)^2 - 4 * (3) * (-3) = 36
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or x1=1 x2=−1
