v2+7v-8=0

Solution for v2+7v-8=0 equation:

v2+7v-8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

v^2+7v-8=0

a = 1; b = 7; c = -8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 72-4·1·(-8)
Δ = 81
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$v_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$v_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{81}=9$
$v_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(7)-9}{2*1}=\frac{-16}{2}
=-8
$
$v_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(7)+9}{2*1}=\frac{2}{2}
=1
