Answer:

The formula was not simplified correctly. The 64 should have been added. The radicand should be 73. There should be 2 real roots.

Explanation:

just took it.

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
ax^(2)+bx+c=0 is equal to


x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^(2)-4ac}}{2a}

In this problem we have


-8x^(2)+3x+2=0

so


a=-8\\b=3\\c=2

substitute in the formula


x=\frac{-3(+/-)\sqrt{3^(2)-4(-8)(2)}}{2(-8)}


x=(-3(+/-)√(9+64))/(-16)


x=(-3(+/-)√(73))/(-16)


x1=(-3+√(73))/(-16)=(3-√(73))/(16)


x2=(-3-√(73))/(-16)=(3+√(73))/(16)

therefore

the answer is

The solution is not correct, there is a sign error under the radical. The radicand should be
73
