Answer

The given equation is 2x2 - 6x + 3 = 0.

Comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = 2 , b = -6 , c = 3

By using formula,

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

we obtain:

x=(6)±(62)4×2×32×2x=6±36244x=6±124x=6+124 or 6124x=6+234 or 6234x=3+32 or 332\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-(-6) ± \sqrt{(-6^2) - 4\times 2 \times 3}}{2 \times 2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{6 ± \sqrt{36 - 24}}{4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{6 ± \sqrt{12}}{4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{6 + \sqrt{12}}{4} \text{ or } \dfrac{6 - \sqrt{12}}{4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{6 + 2\sqrt{3}}{4} \text { or } \dfrac{6 - 2\sqrt{3}}{4} \\[1em] x = \dfrac{3 + \sqrt{3}}{2} \text{ or } \dfrac{3 - \sqrt{3}}{2}

Hence roots of the given equation are 3+32,332\dfrac{3 + \sqrt{3}}{2} , \dfrac{3 - \sqrt{3}}{2}.
