Determine the values of a, b, and c for the quadratic equation: 4x² – 8x = 3

• a = 4, b = -8, c = 3

• a = 4, b = -8, c = -3

• a = 4, b = 8, c = 3

• a = 4, b = 8, c = -3

If the graph of a quadratic does not intercept the x-axis at any point, then it has:

• 1 Real Solution
• 2 Real Solutions
• Half a Solution
• No Real Solution
