4k2-8k=9

Solution for 4k2-8k=9 equation:

4k^2-8k=9

We move all terms to the left:

4k^2-8k-(9)=0

a = 4; b = -8; c = -9;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·4·(-9)
Δ = 208
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{208}=\sqrt{16*13}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{13}=4\sqrt{13}$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-4\sqrt{13}}{2*4}=\frac{8-4\sqrt{13}}{8}
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+4\sqrt{13}}{2*4}=\frac{8+4\sqrt{13}}{8}
