a2+10a+21=0

Solution for a2+10a+21=0 equation:

a2+10a+21=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2+10a+21=0

a = 1; b = 10; c = +21;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 102-4·1·21
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)-4}{2*1}=\frac{-14}{2}
=-7
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)+4}{2*1}=\frac{-6}{2}
=-3
