3r^2-4r-1=0

Solution for 3r^2-4r-1=0 equation:

3r^2-4r-1=0

a = 3; b = -4; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·3·(-1)
Δ = 28
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$r_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$r_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{28}=\sqrt{4*7}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{7}=2\sqrt{7}$
$r_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-2\sqrt{7}}{2*3}=\frac{4-2\sqrt{7}}{6}
$
$r_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+2\sqrt{7}}{2*3}=\frac{4+2\sqrt{7}}{6}
