2x^2-12x-13=0

Solution for 2x^2-12x-13=0 equation:

2x^2-12x-13=0

a = 2; b = -12; c = -13;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -122-4·2·(-13)
Δ = 248
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{248}=\sqrt{4*62}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{62}=2\sqrt{62}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)-2\sqrt{62}}{2*2}=\frac{12-2\sqrt{62}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+2\sqrt{62}}{2*2}=\frac{12+2\sqrt{62}}{4}
