a = 2; b = 0; c = -72;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·2·(-72)
Δ = 576
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{576}=24$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-24}{2*2}=\frac{-24}{4}
=-6
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+24}{2*2}=\frac{24}{4}
=6
