a = 4; b = 0; c = -3;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·4·(-3)
Δ = 48
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{48}=\sqrt{16*3}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{3}=4\sqrt{3}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-4\sqrt{3}}{2*4}=\frac{0-4\sqrt{3}}{8}
=-\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{8}
=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+4\sqrt{3}}{2*4}=\frac{0+4\sqrt{3}}{8}
=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{8}
=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
