2x^2+4x-42=0

Solution for 2x^2+4x-42=0 equation:

2x^2+4x-42=0

a = 2; b = 4; c = -42;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·2·(-42)
Δ = 352
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{352}=\sqrt{16*22}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{22}=4\sqrt{22}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-4\sqrt{22}}{2*2}=\frac{-4-4\sqrt{22}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+4\sqrt{22}}{2*2}=\frac{-4+4\sqrt{22}}{4}
