x2-14x-43=0

Solution for x2-14x-43=0 equation:

x2-14x-43=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-14x-43=0

a = 1; b = -14; c = -43;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -142-4·1·(-43)
Δ = 368
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{368}=\sqrt{16*23}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{23}=4\sqrt{23}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-14)-4\sqrt{23}}{2*1}=\frac{14-4\sqrt{23}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-14)+4\sqrt{23}}{2*1}=\frac{14+4\sqrt{23}}{2}
