0=w^2-72

Solution for 0=w^2-72 equation:

0=w^2-72

We move all terms to the left:

0-(w^2-72)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-(w^2-72)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-w^2+72=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1w^2+72=0

a = -1; b = 0; c = +72;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·(-1)·72
Δ = 288
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{288}=\sqrt{144*2}=\sqrt{144}*\sqrt{2}=12\sqrt{2}$
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-12\sqrt{2}}{2*-1}=\frac{0-12\sqrt{2}}{-2}
=-\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{-2}
=-\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{-1}
$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+12\sqrt{2}}{2*-1}=\frac{0+12\sqrt{2}}{-2}
=\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{-2}
=\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{-1}
