k^2=6k=-8

Solution for k^2=6k=-8 equation:

k^2=6k=-8

We move all terms to the left:

k^2-(6k)=0

a = 1; b = -6; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -62-4·1·0
Δ = 36
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{36}=6$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)-6}{2*1}=\frac{0}{2}
=0
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)+6}{2*1}=\frac{12}{2}
=6
