Solution for u^2-16u-17=0 equation:



u^2-16u-17=0
a = 1; b = -16; c = -17;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -162-4·1·(-17)
Δ = 324
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{324}=18$
$u_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)-18}{2*1}=\frac{-2}{2} =-1 $
$u_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)+18}{2*1}=\frac{34}{2} =17 $
