x2+8x-520=0

Solution for x2+8x-520=0 equation:

x2+8x-520=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2+8x-520=0

a = 1; b = 8; c = -520;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 82-4·1·(-520)
Δ = 2144
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{2144}=\sqrt{16*134}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{134}=4\sqrt{134}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-4\sqrt{134}}{2*1}=\frac{-8-4\sqrt{134}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+4\sqrt{134}}{2*1}=\frac{-8+4\sqrt{134}}{2}
