Find the roots of each of the following equations, if they exist, by applying the quadratic formula:

Given:

taking LCM



3x2 – 6x + 2 = 0 cross multiplying


Comparing with standard quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0


a = 3, b = – 6, c = 2


Discriminant D = b2 – 4ac


= (– 6)2 – 4.3.2


= 36 – 24 = 12 > 0


Hence the roots of equation are real.



Roots are given by





Hence the roots of equation are
