Answer:

Explanation:

This doesn't factor. Not only that, but it does not give real results. The discriminate is negative.

a = 2

b = 4

c = 10

You could divide this equation by 2

a = 1

b = 2

c = 5

These three are smaller and easier to calculate. The answer will be the same.

x = (- b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c ) / (2 a)

x = (-2 +/- sqrt(^2 - 4(1)*(5) ) / 2*1

x = (-2 +/- sqrt(4 - 20) ) / 2

X = (-2 +/- sqrt(-16) ) /2

x = (-2 +/- 4i ) / 2

x = ( - 1) +/- 2i
