To solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, we need to identify the coefficients \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) from the standard form \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\). In this case, the equation is not fully provided, but assuming it is of the form \((-3)x^2 + (-2)x + c = 0\), we can use the quadratic formula:
\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]
Substitute \(a = -3\), \(b = -2\), and \(c\) (which is not provided, so we assume it to be 0 for this example) into the formula to find the roots.
Step 1: Identify the Coefficients
The quadratic equation is assumed to be in the form \(-3x^2 - 2x + c = 0\). Here, the coefficients are identified as:
\(a = -3\)
\(b = -2\)
\(c = 0\) (assumed since it was not provided)
Step 2: Calculate the Discriminant
The discriminant \(\Delta\) is calculated using the formula:
\[
\Delta = b^2 - 4ac
\]
Substituting the values, we get:
\[
\Delta = (-2)^2 - 4(-3)(0) = 4
\]
Step 3: Apply the Quadratic Formula
The roots of the quadratic equation are given by the quadratic formula:
\[
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}
\]
Substituting the values of \(a\), \(b\), and \(\Delta\), we find:
\[
x_1 = \frac{-(-2) + \sqrt{4}}{2(-3)} = \frac{2 + 2}{-6} = -0.6667
\]
\[
x_2 = \frac{-(-2) - \sqrt{4}}{2(-3)} = \frac{2 - 2}{-6} = 0
\]
