Solution for 5x^2-20x-120=0 equation:



5x^2-20x-120=0
a = 5; b = -20; c = -120;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -202-4·5·(-120)
Δ = 2800
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{2800}=\sqrt{400*7}=\sqrt{400}*\sqrt{7}=20\sqrt{7}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)-20\sqrt{7}}{2*5}=\frac{20-20\sqrt{7}}{10} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)+20\sqrt{7}}{2*5}=\frac{20+20\sqrt{7}}{10} $
