just Evaluate the exponent, after that Multiply the numbers, after that Subtract the numbers then, and then Multiply the numbers...

Extrinix:

The equation for a quadratic formula is: \(\sf{x = -b \pm\dfrac{\sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}}\) And the quadratic equation is: \(\sf{ax^2 + bx + c = 0}\) Using this, you can plug it in and solve for x. (You will get 2 equations, or NaN). \(\sf{x = -4 \pm\dfrac{\sqrt{4^2 -4(1)(8)}}{2(1)}}\) Simplify it: \(\sf{x = NaN}\) This means that the equation has no solutions, and the x-roots are non-existent

- has no solutions - not is true - has no real solutions because the discriminant is les than zero

Thank you for the more in-depth response, Jhonyy ^.^
