p^2+4p+2=3

Solution for p^2+4p+2=3 equation:

p^2+4p+2=3

We move all terms to the left:

p^2+4p+2-(3)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

p^2+4p-1=0

a = 1; b = 4; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·1·(-1)
Δ = 20
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{20}=\sqrt{4*5}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{5}=2\sqrt{5}$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-2\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{-4-2\sqrt{5}}{2}
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+2\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{-4+2\sqrt{5}}{2}
