Answer

{$\dfrac{3}{8}-\dfrac{\sqrt{87}}{8}i,\dfrac{3}{8} + \dfrac{\sqrt{87}}{8}i$}

Work Step by Step

Quadratic formula suggests that $x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ Since, $4x^2-3x+6=0$ Thus, $x=\dfrac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2-4(4)(6)}}{2(4)}$ or, $x=\dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{-87}}{8}$ or, $x=\dfrac{3}{8} \pm \dfrac{\sqrt{87}}{8}i$ or, $x=\dfrac{3}{8}-\dfrac{\sqrt{87}}{8}i,\dfrac{3}{8} + \dfrac{\sqrt{87}}{8}i$ Our solution set is: {$\dfrac{3}{8}-\dfrac{\sqrt{87}}{8}i,\dfrac{3}{8} + \dfrac{\sqrt{87}}{8}i$}
