3s^2-6s-12=0

Solution for 3s^2-6s-12=0 equation:

3s^2-6s-12=0

a = 3; b = -6; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -62-4·3·(-12)
Δ = 180
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$s_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$s_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{180}=\sqrt{36*5}=\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{5}=6\sqrt{5}$
$s_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)-6\sqrt{5}}{2*3}=\frac{6-6\sqrt{5}}{6}
$
$s_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)+6\sqrt{5}}{2*3}=\frac{6+6\sqrt{5}}{6}
