Find roots of polynomial $$ p(x) = x^2-x-3 $$
Answer
The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= 2.3028\\[1 em]x_2 &= -1.3028 \end{aligned} $$Explanation
The solutions of $ x^2-x-3 = 0 $ are: $ x = \dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 }-\dfrac{\sqrt{ 13 }}{ 2 } ~ \text{and} ~ x = \dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 }+\dfrac{\sqrt{ 13 }}{ 2 }$.
