To solve the quadratic equation  using the Quadratic Formula, we first identify the coefficients (a), (b), and (c):

a = 1

b = 8

c = 13

 

The Quadratic Formula is given by:

 

Step 1: Calculate the Discriminant

First, we calculate the discriminant (D):

D = 64 - 52 = 12

 

Step 2: Apply the Quadratic Formula

Now we substitute (b), (D), and (a) into the formula:

 

Step 3: Simplify

We can simplify :

 

Now we can substitute this back into the equation:
