Answer

x=2+83 and x=283 are the solutions of the equation

Steps

Step 1 :f(x)=3x212x+4

Step 2 :3x212x+4=0

Step 3 :x24x+43=0

Step 4 :x=4±(4)2414321

Step 5 :x=4±161632

Step 6 :x=4±3232

Step 7 :x=2±83

Step 8 :Test the intervals (,283), (283,2+83), and (2+83,) in the original function

Step 9 :The function is below the x-axis in the intervals (,283) and (2+83,), and above the x-axis in the interval (283,2+83)

Step 10 :x=2+83 and x=283 are the solutions of the equation
