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=1 b=3 c=18 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(3)^2 - 4 * (1) * (18) = -63
Because D<0, then the equation has no real roots, but complex roots is exists.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or x1=−23+237i x2=−23−237i
