A Correct answer
Explanation

Discriminant D = b^2 - 4ac = 2^2 - 4(8)(-3) = 4 + 96 = 100. Since D > 0, the roots are real.

AI explanation

Using the discriminant formula b^2 - 4ac with a = 8, b = 2, and c = -3, we get 2^2 - 4(8)(-3). This simplifies to 4 + 96, which equals 100. Because the discriminant is greater than zero, the equation has real roots.
