h^2+1=17

Solution for h^2+1=17 equation:

h^2+1=17

We move all terms to the left:

h^2+1-(17)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

h^2-16=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-16)
Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$h_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$h_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$h_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-8}{2*1}=\frac{-8}{2}
=-4
$
$h_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+8}{2*1}=\frac{8}{2}
=4
