Find the roots of each of the following equations, if they exist, by applying the quadratic formula:
2x2 + 6√3x – 60 = 0
Given:
Comparing with standard quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0
Discriminant D = b2 – 4ac
=
= 180 + 480 = 588 > 0
Hence the roots of equation are real.
Roots are given by
Hence the roots of equation are
