By using the quadratic equation formula
To find the roots (solutions) of a quadratic equation.
If the discriminant of b2-4ac in the quadratic equation formula is less than zero then the equation will have no real roots.
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is zero then it will have 2 equal roots. If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is greater than zero then it will have 2 different roots. If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is less than zero then it will have no roots.
It can't be solved because the discriminant of the given quadratic equation is less than zero meaning it has no real roots.
