Solve a^2-3a-3=0 - ScanMath

Evaluate

a^{2} - 3 a - 3 = 0

Substitute a= 1,b= - 3 and c= - 3 into the quadratic formula a = \frac{- b \pm b ^{2} - 4 a c}{2 a}

a = \frac{3 \pm ( - 3 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 3 )}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

a = \frac{3 \pm 21}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

a = \frac{3 + 21}{2} a = \frac{3 - 21}{2}

Solution

a_{1} = \frac{3 - 21}{2}, a_{2} = \frac{3 + 21}{2}

Alternative Form

a_{1} \approx - 0.791288, a_{2} \approx 3.791288
