k2-2k=63

Solution for k2-2k=63 equation:

k2-2k=63

We move all terms to the left:

k2-2k-(63)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

k^2-2k-63=0

a = 1; b = -2; c = -63;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·1·(-63)
Δ = 256
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{256}=16$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-16}{2*1}=\frac{-14}{2}
=-7
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+16}{2*1}=\frac{18}{2}
=9
