    If you look at the quadratic formula:

    x = (-b±√ (b^2-4ac)) / (2a)

    We can say that - b=5, b=-5

    If I read it right you had ±2√7 which is equal to ±√28, and we know b=-5 so:

    ±√ (25-4ac) = ±√28

    And since 3=2a, a=1.5 making the above:

    ±√ (25-6c) = ±√28

    25-6c=28

    -6c=3

    c=-0.5

    So a=1.5, b=-5, and c=-0.5 thus

    y=1.5x^2-5x-0.5

    We can check this by reapplying the quadratic formula to the equation above

    x = (5±√ (25-4 (1.5) (-0.5)) / 3

    x = (5±√ (25+3)) / 3

    x = (5±√28) / 3

    x = (5±√ (4*7)) / 3

    x = (5±2√7) / 3
