2x^2-10x-171=0

Solution for 2x^2-10x-171=0 equation:

2x^2-10x-171=0

a = 2; b = -10; c = -171;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -102-4·2·(-171)
Δ = 1468
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1468}=\sqrt{4*367}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{367}=2\sqrt{367}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)-2\sqrt{367}}{2*2}=\frac{10-2\sqrt{367}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)+2\sqrt{367}}{2*2}=\frac{10+2\sqrt{367}}{4}
