    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use quadratic formula:

    x = ((-b+-sqrt (b^2-4ac)) / 2a

    x = ((-9+-sqrt (9^2-4 (2) (4)) / 2 (2)

    x = ((-9+-sqrt (81-32)) / 4

    x = ((-9+-sqrt (49)) / 4

    x = (-9+-7) / 4

    Solution 1:

    x=-2/4

    x=-1/2

    Solution 2:

    x=-16/4

    x=-4

    Now we check:

    2 (-1/2) ^2+9 (-1/2) + 4=2/4+-9/2+4=1/2+-9/2+4=-8/2+4=-4+4=0 (x=-1/2 works)

    2 (-4) ^2+9 (-4) + 4=2 (16) + (-36) + 4=32-36+4=-4+4=0 (x=-4 works)

    So the solutions of the equation are x=-1/2 and x=-4

    in this case

    a=2 b=9 c4

    for this equation we have the formula

    x1/2 = (-b + - (root of) b2 - 4ac) / 2a

    x1/2 = (-9 + - (root of) 81 - 4*2*4) / 2*2

    x1/2 = (-9 + - (root of) 81-32) / 4

    x1/2 = (-9 + - (root of) 49/4

    x1/2 = (-9 + - 7) / 4

    x1 = - 9+7/4

    x1=-2/4

    x1=-1/2

    x2 = - 9-7/4

    x2 = - 16/4

    x2 = - 4
