Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf No \ real \ roots/ solutions }}

Explanation:

The value of the discriminant (b²-4ac) can tell us 3 things:

  • Positive value: 2 real roots
  • Equal to 0: 1 real root
  • Negative value: No real roots, but imaginary roots can exist.

The quadratic equation given has a discriminant of -8. This value is negative, so we know that the quadratic has no real solutions.
