a = 2; b = 0; c = -242;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·2·(-242)
Δ = 1936
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1936}=44$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-44}{2*2}=\frac{-44}{4}
=-11
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+44}{2*2}=\frac{44}{4}
=11
