a+b=48 ab=64\times 9=576
Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 64y^{2}+ay+by+9. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 576.
1+576=577 2+288=290 3+192=195 4+144=148 6+96=102 8+72=80 9+64=73 12+48=60 16+36=52 18+32=50 24+24=48

x ^ 2 +\frac{3}{4}x +\frac{9}{64} = 0
Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by a new direct factoring method that does not require guess work. To use the direct factoring method, the equation must be in the form x^2+Bx+C=0.This is achieved by dividing both sides of the equation by 64
r + s = -\frac{3}{4} rs = \frac{9}{64}
Let r and s be the factors for the quadratic equation such that x^2+Bx+C=(x−r)(x−s) where sum of factors (r+s)=−B and the product of factors rs = C
r = -\frac{3}{8} - u s = -\frac{3}{8} + u
Two numbers r and s sum up to -\frac{3}{4} exactly when the average of the two numbers is \frac{1}{2}*-\frac{3}{4} = -\frac{3}{8}. You can also see that the midpoint of r and s corresponds to the axis of symmetry of the parabola represented by the quadratic equation y=x^2+Bx+C. The values of r and s are equidistant from the center by an unknown quantity u. Express r and s with respect to variable u. <div style='padding: 8px'><img src='https://opalmath.azureedge.net/customsolver/quadraticgraph.png' style='width: 100%;max-width: 700px' /></div>
(-\frac{3}{8} - u) (-\frac{3}{8} + u) = \frac{9}{64}
To solve for unknown quantity u, substitute these in the product equation rs = \frac{9}{64}
\frac{9}{64} - u^2 = \frac{9}{64}
Simplify by expanding (a -b) (a + b) = a^2 – b^2
-u^2 = \frac{9}{64}-\frac{9}{64} = 0
Simplify the expression by subtracting \frac{9}{64} on both sides
u^2 = 0 u = 0
Simplify the expression by multiplying -1 on both sides and take the square root to obtain the value of unknown variable u
r = s = -\frac{3}{8} = -0.375
The factors r and s are the solutions to the quadratic equation. Substitute the value of u to compute the r and s.
