u^2+8u+150=0

Solution for u^2+8u+150=0 equation:

Simplifying
u2 + 8u + 150 = 0

Reorder the terms:
150 + 8u + u2 = 0

Solving
150 + 8u + u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-150' to each side of the equation.
150 + 8u + -150 + u2 = 0 + -150

Reorder the terms:
150 + -150 + 8u + u2 = 0 + -150

Combine like terms: 150 + -150 = 0
0 + 8u + u2 = 0 + -150
8u + u2 = 0 + -150

Combine like terms: 0 + -150 = -150
8u + u2 = -150

The u term is 8u.  Take half its coefficient (4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
8u + 16 + u2 = -150 + 16

Reorder the terms:
16 + 8u + u2 = -150 + 16

Combine like terms: -150 + 16 = -134
16 + 8u + u2 = -134

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + 4)(u + 4) = -134

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
