3x2 − 8x + 8 = 0
Use the Quadratic Formula::
x = [-b +- sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a)
------
x = [8 +- sqrt(64-4*3*8)]/(6)
------
x = [8 +- sqrt(-32)]/6
------
x = [8 +- 4*sqrt(2)i]/6
-----
x = (4/3)+ (2/3)sqrt(2)i or x =(4/3) - (2/3)sqrt(2)i

Use the quadratic formula
There is no solution because you are taking the square root of a
negative number which means you end up with two
imaginary roots that look like:
and where
so there are no real solutions

Determine all possible real solutions of the equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.)
3x^2 - 8x + 8 = 0
------
The discriminant = b^2 - 4ac
= (-8)^2 - 4*3*8 = 64 - 96
= -32

Disc < 0 --> no real solutions
