Answer:
2 imaginary roots
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminate is the portion of the quadratic equation under the square root
D = b^2 - 4ac
D = 8^2 - 4(2)(16)
D = 64 - 128
D = -64
Since the discriminate is negative the square root will be imaginary
and there will be 2 of them
2 imaginary roots
