2x^(2) - 3x - 11 = 0

This does not factor , so apply the Quadratic Eq'n.

x = { -b +/- sqrt[b^(2) - 4ac]} / 2a

x = { - -3 +/- sqrt[(-3)^2 - 4(2)(-11)]} / 2(2)

x = { (+)3 +/-sqrt[9+88]} / 4

x = { 3 +/- sqrt[97]} / 4

x = { 3 +/-9.848857802 } / 4

x = 12.848857802/4 = 3,21221445

&

x = -6.848857802/4 = - 1.71221445

Hence the two approximate answers are 3.21 & -1.71
