The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16384}=128$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-128}{2*8}=\frac{-128}{16}
=-8
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+128}{2*8}=\frac{128}{16}
=8
