4v^2-12v-1=0

Solution for 4v^2-12v-1=0 equation:

4v^2-12v-1=0

a = 4; b = -12; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -122-4·4·(-1)
Δ = 160
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$v_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$v_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{160}=\sqrt{16*10}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{10}=4\sqrt{10}$
$v_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)-4\sqrt{10}}{2*4}=\frac{12-4\sqrt{10}}{8}
$
$v_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+4\sqrt{10}}{2*4}=\frac{12+4\sqrt{10}}{8}
