H=-t^2+4t+1

Solution for H=-t^2+4t+1 equation:

=-H^2+4H+1

We move all terms to the left:

-(-H^2+4H+1)=0

We get rid of parentheses

H^2-4H-1=0

a = 1; b = -4; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·1·(-1)
Δ = 20
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$H_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$H_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{20}=\sqrt{4*5}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{5}=2\sqrt{5}$
$H_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-2\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{4-2\sqrt{5}}{2}
$
$H_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+2\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{4+2\sqrt{5}}{2}
