1a^2+1a-240=0

Solution for 1a^2+1a-240=0 equation:

1a^2+1a-240=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2+a-240=0

a = 1; b = 1; c = -240;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·1·(-240)
Δ = 961
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{961}=31$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-31}{2*1}=\frac{-32}{2}
=-16
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+31}{2*1}=\frac{30}{2}
=15
