X^2-x-340=0

Solution for X^2-x-340=0 equation:

X^2-X-340=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

X^2-1X-340=0

a = 1; b = -1; c = -340;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·1·(-340)
Δ = 1361
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-\sqrt{1361}}{2*1}=\frac{1-\sqrt{1361}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+\sqrt{1361}}{2*1}=\frac{1+\sqrt{1361}}{2}
