The roots of a quadratic equation are -\(\frac{1}{4}\) and 3. The quadratic equation in x x = -\(\frac{1}{4}\) or 3 (x + \(\frac{1}{4}\)) = 0 or (x - 3) = 0 (x + \(\frac{1}{4}\))(x - 3) = 0 x\(^2\) - 3x + \(\frac{x}{4}\) - 3(\(\frac{1}{4}\)) = 0 x\(^2\) - \(\frac{11x}{4}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\) = 0 multiply thru by 4 4x\(^2\) - 11x - 3 = 0
