Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The quadratic formula is x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}x=2ab±b24ac , where a=12a = 12a=12 , b=−12b = -12b=12 , and c=3c = 3c=3 . Plugging these values in, we get x=12±(−12)2−4(12)(3)2(12)=12±144−14424=12±024=12x = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{(-12)^2 - 4(12)(3)}}{2(12)} = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144 - 144}}{24} = \frac{12 \pm 0}{24} = \frac{1}{2}x=2(12)12±(12)24(12)(3)=2412±144144=2412±0=21 .
