3q^2-8q-11=0

Solution for 3q^2-8q-11=0 equation:

3q^2-8q-11=0

a = 3; b = -8; c = -11;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·3·(-11)
Δ = 196
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$q_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$q_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{196}=14$
$q_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-14}{2*3}=\frac{-6}{6}
=-1
$
$q_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+14}{2*3}=\frac{22}{6}
=3+2/3
