a = 2; b = -7; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -72-4·2·1
Δ = 41
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)-\sqrt{41}}{2*2}=\frac{7-\sqrt{41}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)+\sqrt{41}}{2*2}=\frac{7+\sqrt{41}}{4}
