For this problem you will need to use the quadratic formula. [tex]x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex] (the + and - are together. basically the plus is on top and the minus is on bottom. you should have seen it in your notes hopefully). a = 1, b = 8, and c = 10. from there you just plug everything in and solve.
