The solutions for the equation are :
=(3+sqrt(-39))/8
=(3-sqrt(-39))/8

Explanation:

4x^2 -3x + 3 = 0

The equation is of the form color(blue)(ax^2+bx+c=0 where:
a=4, b=-3, c=3

The Discriminant is given by:

Delta=b^2-4*a*c

= (-3)^2-(4 * 4 *3)

= 9 - 48=- 39

The solutions are found using the formula
x=(-b+-sqrtDelta)/(2*a)

x = (-(-3)+-sqrt(-39))/(2*4) = (3+-sqrt(-39))/8

The solutions are:
=(3+sqrt(-39))/8
=(3-sqrt(-39))/8
