Answer:

d.

[tex]3 {x}^{2} + 4x + 2 = 0[/tex]

has no real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation has no real solution if:

[tex]{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } < 0[/tex]

a) a = 4 , c = -64, b = 0

therefore, 0 - 4(4 × -64)

= -4(-256)

= 1024 which is greater than 0.

Hence, 4x^ - 64 = 0 has real roots

b) a = 1, b = -4 and c = -8

b^2 - 4ac = (-4)^2 - 4(1 × -8)

= 16 -4(-8)

= 16 + 32

= 48 which is greater than 0.

Hence, x^2 - 4x - 8 = 0 has real roots.

c) a = 2, b = -4 and c = 2

b^2 - 4ac = (-4)^2 - 4(2 × 2)

= 16 - 4(4)

= 16 - 16

= 0

Hence, 2x^2 - 4x + 2 has repeated roots.

d) a = 3, b = 4 and c = 2

b^2 - 4ac = 4^2 - 4(3 × 2)

= 16 - 4(6) = 16 - 24

= -8 which is less than 0.

Therefore,

[tex]3 {x}^{2} + 4x + 2 = 0[/tex]

has no real roots.
