Quadratic equation  (in our case  ) has the following solutons:
For these solutions to exist, the discriminant  should not be a negative number.
First, we need to compute the discriminant :  .
The discriminant -16 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.
If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.
In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -16 is + or -  .
The solution is  , or
