The quadratic is not factorable, to figure this out use this formula (b^2-4ac) to figure out the discriminant. If the discriminant comes out to be a perfect square or equal to zero then we can say it’s factorable if it does not meet those requirements it’s not. In this problem it’s 8^2-4*3*3. Simplify and you get 64-36 which is equal to 28. 28 is not a perfect square or equal to zero therefore this is not factorable. If you need the root the quadratic formula would be a good option also look on the bottom if that’s what u need.

Hope this helps!
