Solution

Given equation is, `x^2 + 9sqrt(3)x + 24 = 0`

Comparing the given equation with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get

a = 1, b = `9sqrt(3)`, c = 24

Discriminant, D = b2 – 4ac

= `(9sqrt(3))^2 - 4(1)(24)`

= 243 – 96

= 147

Here, D > 0.

As a result, the roots of the quadratic equation are both real and unequal.
