a^2=196

Solution for a^2=196 equation:

a^2=196

We move all terms to the left:

a^2-(196)=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -196;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-196)
Δ = 784
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{784}=28$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-28}{2*1}=\frac{-28}{2}
=-14
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+28}{2*1}=\frac{28}{2}
=14
