Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·(-1)·4
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$q_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$q_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$q_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-4}{2*-1}=\frac{-4}{-2}
=+2
$
$q_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+4}{2*-1}=\frac{4}{-2}
=-2
