k^2=12

Solution for k^2=12 equation:

k^2=12

We move all terms to the left:

k^2-(12)=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-12)
Δ = 48
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{48}=\sqrt{16*3}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{3}=4\sqrt{3}$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-4\sqrt{3}}{2*1}=\frac{0-4\sqrt{3}}{2}
=-\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{2}
=-2\sqrt{3}
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+4\sqrt{3}}{2*1}=\frac{0+4\sqrt{3}}{2}
=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{2}
=2\sqrt{3}
