a^2-3=1

Solution for a^2-3=1 equation:

a^2-3=1

We move all terms to the left:

a^2-3-(1)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

a^2-4=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -4;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-4)
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{-(0)-4}{2*1}=\frac{-4}{2}
=-2
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+4}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
