x2+15x+40=0

Solution for x2+15x+40=0 equation:

x2+15x+40=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2+15x+40=0

a = 1; b = 15; c = +40;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 152-4·1·40
Δ = 65
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(15)-\sqrt{65}}{2*1}=\frac{-15-\sqrt{65}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(15)+\sqrt{65}}{2*1}=\frac{-15+\sqrt{65}}{2}
