To find the x<span>-intercepts of any equation, substitute 0 in for y and </span>solve for x. So, we have 0 = 3x2<span>+ </span>x<span> + 1. Now, use the </span>quadratic<span> equation to </span>solve for x<span>, wich a = 3, b = 1, and c = 1: So, now we can find the value of the </span>x<span>-intercepts and not have to estimate!</span>
