Answer:

C. -0.5, -1.5

Explanation:

Given equation


4d^2+8d+3=0

To solve for
d

As the above equation is of 2nd degree, so its a quadratic equation. We can solve is by using quadratic formula.

For a quadratic equation
ax^2+bx+c=0


x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

So, for
4d^2+8d+3=0


d=(-8\pm√(8^2-4(4)(3)))/(2(4))


d=(-8\pm√(64-48))/(8)


d=(-8\pm√(16))/(8)


d=(-8\pm4)/(8)

So
d=(-8+4)/(8) and
d=(-8-4)/(8)


d=-(1)/(2) and
d=-(3)/(2)

Or
d=-0.5 and
d=-1.5


d= -0.5, -1.5
