also explain what the graph will look like??

thanks

Discriminant is:
Ä=b^2-4*a*c
In this case:
a=-3
b=-4
c=-3
Ä=(-4)^2-4*(-3)*(-3)
=16-4*9
=16-36
=-20

Go to
en wikipedia and type "Discriminant"
Heare you have all about Discriminant
Also in google type
"wikipedia quadratic equation"

In this case when Discriminant is negative equation have two distinct complex roots.
