All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)±\sqrt{\left(-3\right)^{2}-4\left(-4\right)\times 19}}{2\left(-4\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -4 for a, -3 for b, and 19 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)±\sqrt{9-4\left(-4\right)\times 19}}{2\left(-4\right)}

x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)±\sqrt{9+304}}{2\left(-4\right)}
Multiply 16 times 19.
x=\frac{-\left(-3\right)±\sqrt{313}}{2\left(-4\right)}
Add 9 to 304.
x=\frac{3±\sqrt{313}}{2\left(-4\right)}
The opposite of -3 is 3.
x=\frac{3±\sqrt{313}}{-8}
Multiply 2 times -4.
x=\frac{\sqrt{313}+3}{-8}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{3±\sqrt{313}}{-8} when ± is plus. Add 3 to \sqrt{313}.
x=\frac{-\sqrt{313}-3}{8}
Divide 3+\sqrt{313} by -8.
x=\frac{3-\sqrt{313}}{-8}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{3±\sqrt{313}}{-8} when ± is minus. Subtract \sqrt{313} from 3.
x=\frac{\sqrt{313}-3}{8}
Divide 3-\sqrt{313} by -8.
x=\frac{-\sqrt{313}-3}{8} x=\frac{\sqrt{313}-3}{8}
The equation is now solved.

Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by completing the square. In order to complete the square, the equation must first be in the form x^{2}+bx=c.
\frac{-4x^{2}-3x}{-4}=-\frac{19}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x^{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{-4}\right)x=-\frac{19}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
x^{2}+\frac{3}{4}x=-\frac{19}{-4}
Divide -3 by -4.
x^{2}+\frac{3}{4}x=\frac{19}{4}
Divide -19 by -4.
x^{2}+\frac{3}{4}x+\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^{2}=\frac{19}{4}+\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^{2}
Divide \frac{3}{4}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get \frac{3}{8}. Then add the square of \frac{3}{8} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}+\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{64}=\frac{19}{4}+\frac{9}{64}
Square \frac{3}{8} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
x^{2}+\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{64}=\frac{313}{64}
Add \frac{19}{4} to \frac{9}{64} by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
\left(x+\frac{3}{8}\right)^{2}=\frac{313}{64}
Factor x^{2}+\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{64}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x+\frac{3}{8}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{313}{64}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{\sqrt{313}}{8} x+\frac{3}{8}=-\frac{\sqrt{313}}{8}
Simplify.
x=\frac{\sqrt{313}-3}{8} x=\frac{-\sqrt{313}-3}{8}
Subtract \frac{3}{8} from both sides of the equation.
