m^2+16m+9=0

Solution for m^2+16m+9=0 equation:

m^2+16m+9=0

a = 1; b = 16; c = +9;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 162-4·1·9
Δ = 220
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{220}=\sqrt{4*55}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{55}=2\sqrt{55}$
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)-2\sqrt{55}}{2*1}=\frac{-16-2\sqrt{55}}{2}
$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)+2\sqrt{55}}{2*1}=\frac{-16+2\sqrt{55}}{2}
