8x^2-24x+17=0

Solution for 8x^2-24x+17=0 equation:

8x^2-24x+17=0

a = 8; b = -24; c = +17;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -242-4·8·17
Δ = 32
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{32}=\sqrt{16*2}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{2}=4\sqrt{2}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-24)-4\sqrt{2}}{2*8}=\frac{24-4\sqrt{2}}{16}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-24)+4\sqrt{2}}{2*8}=\frac{24+4\sqrt{2}}{16}
