Answer:

(3 ± √23 * i) /4

Explanation:

To solve this, we can apply the Quadratic Equation.

In an equation of form ax²+bx+c = 0, we can solve for x by applying the Quadratic Equation, or x = (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

Matching up values, a is what's multiplied by x², b is what's multiplied by x, and c is the constant, so a = 2, b = -3, and c = 4

Plugging these values into our equation, we get

x = (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

x = (-(-3) ± √(3²-4(2)(4)))/(2(2))

= (3 ± √(9-32))/4

= (3 ± √(-23))/4

= (3 ± √23 * i) /4
