u2+5u+4=0

Solution for u2+5u+4=0 equation:

u2+5u+4=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

u^2+5u+4=0

a = 1; b = 5; c = +4;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·1·4
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-3}{2*1}=\frac{-8}{2}
=-4
$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+3}{2*1}=\frac{-2}{2}
=-1
