Answer

$\{\frac{1+i\sqrt 23}{6},\frac{1-i\sqrt 23}{6}\}$

Work Step by Step

$3x^{2}-x+2=0$ Using quadratic formula, $x= \frac{-b±\sqrt (b^{2}-4ac)}{2a}$ Substituting $a=3, b=-1, c=2$ $x= \frac{-(-1)±\sqrt ((-1)^{2}-4(3)(2))}{2(3)}$ $x= \frac{1±\sqrt (1-24)}{6}$ $x= \frac{1±\sqrt (-23)}{6}$ Using $\sqrt -b = i\sqrt b$ $x= \frac{1±i\sqrt 23}{6}$ $x= \frac{1+i\sqrt 23}{6}$ or $x= \frac{1-i\sqrt 23}{6}$
