X2-10x-300=0

Solution for X2-10x-300=0 equation:

X2-10X-300=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2-10X-300=0

a = 1; b = -10; c = -300;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -102-4·1·(-300)
Δ = 1300
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1300}=\sqrt{100*13}=\sqrt{100}*\sqrt{13}=10\sqrt{13}$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)-10\sqrt{13}}{2*1}=\frac{10-10\sqrt{13}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)+10\sqrt{13}}{2*1}=\frac{10+10\sqrt{13}}{2}
