Final answer:

The quadratic equation -4x^2-3x+2=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula, yielding two possible solutions for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the quadratic equation -4x^2-3x+2=0 using the quadratic formula, we first identify the coefficients: a = -4, b = -3, and c = 2. The quadratic formula is x = (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a). Substituting the coefficients into the formula, we get:

x = (3 ± √((-3)²-4(-4)(2)))/(2(-4))

x = (3 ± √(9+32))/(2(-4))

x = (3 ± √(41))/(-8)

Therefore, we have two potential solutions for x:

x = (3 + √(41))/(-8) or x = (3 - √(41))/(-8)

These are the two possible values for x using the quadratic formula.
