Answer

The given equation is 3x2+10x83=0\sqrt{3}x^2 + 10x - 8\sqrt{3} = 0

Comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a=3, b=10, c=83a = \sqrt{3}, \space b =10, \space c = -8\sqrt{3}

By using formula, x=b±b24ac2ax = \dfrac{-b ± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

we obtain:

x=(10)±(10)24×3×832×3x=10±100+9623x=10±19623x=10+1423 or 101423x=423 or 2423x=23 or 123x=23×33 or 123×33 (Multiplying both roots by 33)x=233 or 43.\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-(10) ± \sqrt{(10)^2 - 4\times \sqrt{3} \times -8\sqrt{3}}}{2 \times \sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-10 ± \sqrt{100 + 96}}{2\sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-10 ± \sqrt{196}}{2\sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-10 + 14}{2\sqrt{3}} \text{ or } \dfrac{-10 - 14}{2\sqrt{3}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{4}{2\sqrt{3}} \text { or } \dfrac{-24}{2\sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ or } \dfrac{-12}{\sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ or } \dfrac{-12}{\sqrt{3}} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ (Multiplying both roots by } \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}) \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} \text{ or } -4\sqrt{3}.

Hence roots of the given equations are 233,43\dfrac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} , -4\sqrt{3}.
