Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation.The quadratic equation is in the form ax2+bx+c=0. For the equation 3x2−3x+5=0, the coefficients are:a = 3, b = −3, and c = 5.
Check applicability: Check if the quadratic formula can be applied.The quadratic formula is applicable for all quadratic equations of the form ax2+bx+c=0. Since we have identified the coefficients, we can apply the quadratic formula.
Apply quadratic formula: Apply the quadratic formula to find the roots.The quadratic formula is x=2a−b±b2−4ac. Let's calculate the discriminant b2−4ac first.Discriminant = (−3)2−4(3)(5)Discriminant = 9−60Discriminant = −51
Calculate discriminant: Since the discriminant is negative, the roots will be complex numbers.We can now write the roots using the quadratic formula with the discriminant.x=2×3−(−3)±−51x=63±−51
Determine complex roots: Simplify the roots by separating the real and imaginary parts.Since −51 is an imaginary number, we can write it as 51i, where i is the imaginary unit.x=63±51i
Simplify roots: Write the final simplified form of the roots.The roots are:x=63+51i and x=63−51i
