p^2-1p-2=0
a = 1; b = -1; c = -2;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·1·(-2)
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-3}{2*1}=\frac{-2}{2} =-1 $
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+3}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2} =2 $
