q^2=8

Solution for q^2=8 equation:

q^2=8

We move all terms to the left:

q^2-(8)=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-8)
Δ = 32
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$q_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$q_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{32}=\sqrt{16*2}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{2}=4\sqrt{2}$
$q_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-4\sqrt{2}}{2*1}=\frac{0-4\sqrt{2}}{2}
=-\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{2}
=-2\sqrt{2}
$
$q_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+4\sqrt{2}}{2*1}=\frac{0+4\sqrt{2}}{2}
=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{2}
=2\sqrt{2}
