If it's not what You are looking for type in the equation solver your own equation and let us solve it.
x in (-oo:+oo)
(1/2)*x^2-x-8 = 0
1/2*x^2-x-8 = 0
DELTA = (-1)^2-(-8*1/2*4)
DELTA = 17
DELTA > 0
x = (17^(1/2)+1)/(1/2*2) or x = (1-17^(1/2))/(1/2*2)
x = 17^(1/2)+1 or x = 1-17^(1/2)
x in { 1-17^(1/2), 17^(1/2)+1 }
