5k^2+2k-1=0

Solution for 5k^2+2k-1=0 equation:

5k^2+2k-1=0

a = 5; b = 2; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·5·(-1)
Δ = 24
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{24}=\sqrt{4*6}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{6}=2\sqrt{6}$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-2\sqrt{6}}{2*5}=\frac{-2-2\sqrt{6}}{10}
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+2\sqrt{6}}{2*5}=\frac{-2+2\sqrt{6}}{10}
