a = -4; b = -56; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -562-4·(-4)·1
Δ = 3152
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{3152}=\sqrt{16*197}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{197}=4\sqrt{197}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-56)-4\sqrt{197}}{2*-4}=\frac{56-4\sqrt{197}}{-8}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-56)+4\sqrt{197}}{2*-4}=\frac{56+4\sqrt{197}}{-8}
