a = 1; b = 2; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·1·0
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

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