Solution:
Given quadratic equation is
2x2 + 16x + 50 = 0
This is the quadratic equation, so we use quadratic formula to find the roots
x = -b ± √(b2 - 4ac) / 2a
Here a = 2; b = 16; c = 50
x = -16 ± √(162 - 4(2)(50)) / 2(2)
x = -16 ± √(256 - 400) / 4
x = -16 ± √ -144 /4
x = -4 ± 3i
Summary:
The solutions of 2x2 + 16x + 50 = 0 are -4 ± 3i.
