The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= -\frac{ 9 }{ 28 }+\frac{\sqrt{ 699 }}{ 84 }i\\[1 em]x_2 &= -\frac{ 9 }{ 28 }- \frac{\sqrt{ 699 }}{ 84 }i \end{aligned} $$The solutions of $ 84x^2+54x+17 = 0 $ are: $ x = -\dfrac{ 9 }{ 28 }+\dfrac{\sqrt{ 699 }}{ 84 }i ~ \text{and} ~ x = -\dfrac{ 9 }{ 28 }-\dfrac{\sqrt{ 699 }}{ 84 }i$.
