a^2-12a+12=0

Solution for a^2-12a+12=0 equation:

a^2-12a+12=0

a = 1; b = -12; c = +12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -122-4·1·12
Δ = 96
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{96}=\sqrt{16*6}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{6}=4\sqrt{6}$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)-4\sqrt{6}}{2*1}=\frac{12-4\sqrt{6}}{2}
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+4\sqrt{6}}{2*1}=\frac{12+4\sqrt{6}}{2}
