a2-6a-36=0

Solution for a2-6a-36=0 equation:

a2-6a-36=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2-6a-36=0

a = 1; b = -6; c = -36;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -62-4·1·(-36)
Δ = 180
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{180}=\sqrt{36*5}=\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{5}=6\sqrt{5}$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)-6\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{6-6\sqrt{5}}{2}
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)+6\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{6+6\sqrt{5}}{2}
