x2+16x-145=0

Solution for x2+16x-145=0 equation:

x2+16x-145=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2+16x-145=0

a = 1; b = 16; c = -145;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 162-4·1·(-145)
Δ = 836
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{836}=\sqrt{4*209}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{209}=2\sqrt{209}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)-2\sqrt{209}}{2*1}=\frac{-16-2\sqrt{209}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)+2\sqrt{209}}{2*1}=\frac{-16+2\sqrt{209}}{2}
