p2=964

Solution for p2=964 equation:

p2=964

We move all terms to the left:

p2-(964)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

p^2-964=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -964;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-964)
Δ = 3856
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{3856}=\sqrt{16*241}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{241}=4\sqrt{241}$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-4\sqrt{241}}{2*1}=\frac{0-4\sqrt{241}}{2}
=-\frac{4\sqrt{241}}{2}
=-2\sqrt{241}
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+4\sqrt{241}}{2*1}=\frac{0+4\sqrt{241}}{2}
=\frac{4\sqrt{241}}{2}
=2\sqrt{241}
