Wy multiply elements

-60x*x+1=0

Wy multiply elements

-60x^2+1=0

a = -60; b = 0; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·(-60)·1
Δ = 240
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{240}=\sqrt{16*15}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{15}=4\sqrt{15}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-4\sqrt{15}}{2*-60}=\frac{0-4\sqrt{15}}{-120}
=-\frac{4\sqrt{15}}{-120}
=-\frac{\sqrt{15}}{-30}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+4\sqrt{15}}{2*-60}=\frac{0+4\sqrt{15}}{-120}
=\frac{4\sqrt{15}}{-120}
=\frac{\sqrt{15}}{-30}
