a2-2a-35=0

Solution for a2-2a-35=0 equation:

a2-2a-35=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2-2a-35=0

a = 1; b = -2; c = -35;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·1·(-35)
Δ = 144
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{144}=12$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-12}{2*1}=\frac{-10}{2}
=-5
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+12}{2*1}=\frac{14}{2}
=7
