Answer:

no real solutions

Explanation:

A quadratic equation of the form
ax^2+bx+c=0

Quadratic equation has a discriminant -16

when discriminant =0 then equation has only one real solution

when discriminant >0 then equation has 2 real solutions

when discriminant <0 then equation has 2 imaginary solutions

Discriminant is -16 that is negative

So, there are 2 imaginary solutions

No real number solutions.
