What is the solution of the equation?

The solution of the equation means the value of the unknown or variable.

The quadratic equation is given below.

8x² – 5x – 4 = 0

Then we have

a = 8, b = -5, c = -4

Then the solutions will be

[tex]\rm x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\\rm x = \dfrac{-(-5)\pm \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4 * 8 * (-4)}}{2 * 8 }\\\\\\x = \dfrac{5 \pm 12.37}{16}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{5- 12.37}{16}, \dfrac{5 +12.37}{16}[/tex]

On further solving, we have

x = 1.085, -0.460
