p^2/4=16

Solution for p^2/4=16 equation:

p^2/4=16

We move all terms to the left:

p^2/4-(16)=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


p^2-16*4=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

p^2-64=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -64;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-64)
Δ = 256
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{256}=16$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-16}{2*1}=\frac{-16}{2}
=-8
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+16}{2*1}=\frac{16}{2}
=8
