With the help of the flow chart given below solve the equation x^2 + 2√3 x + 3 = 0 using the formula.

With the help of the flow chart given below solve the equation \(x^2 + 2\sqrt{3}x + 3 = 0\) using the formula.

Flow chart: compare the equation with \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) and find \(a, b, c\) → find the value of \(b^2 - 4ac\) → write the formula to solve the quadratic equation → substitute values of \(a, b, c\) and find the roots.

Answer: \(x = -\sqrt{3} \text{ (both roots equal)}\)

Compare with \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\): \(a = 1\), \(b = 2\sqrt{3}\), \(c = 3\).

\(b^2 - 4ac = (2\sqrt{3})^2 - 4(1)(3) = 12 - 12 = 0\)

\(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\)

\[x = \frac{-2\sqrt{3} \pm \sqrt{0}}{2}\]\[x = -\sqrt{3}\]

Since \(b^2 - 4ac = 0\), both roots are equal: \(-\sqrt{3}\) and \(-\sqrt{3}\).
