5k^2-10k-1=0

Solution for 5k^2-10k-1=0 equation:

5k^2-10k-1=0

a = 5; b = -10; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -102-4·5·(-1)
Δ = 120
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{120}=\sqrt{4*30}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{30}=2\sqrt{30}$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)-2\sqrt{30}}{2*5}=\frac{10-2\sqrt{30}}{10}
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)+2\sqrt{30}}{2*5}=\frac{10+2\sqrt{30}}{10}
