To decide if the equation has an integer solution, we'll
have to calculate them, first.
We'll apply quadratic
formula to calculate the solutions of the equation:
x1 =
[-b+sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a
x2 = [-b-sqrt(b^2 -
4ac)]/2a
a,b,c, are the coefficients of the
quadratic
a = 4, b = -13 , c =
3
x1 = [13+sqrt(169 -
48)]/8
x1 = (13+11)/8
x1 =
24/8
x1 = 3
x2 =
(13-11)/8
x2 = 2/8
x2 =
1/4
Since x2 is not an integer number, we'll
conclude that the only integer solution of the equation is x =
3.
