x^2+40x-896=0

Solution for x^2+40x-896=0 equation:

x^2+40x-896=0

a = 1; b = 40; c = -896;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 402-4·1·(-896)
Δ = 5184
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{5184}=72$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(40)-72}{2*1}=\frac{-112}{2}
=-56
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(40)+72}{2*1}=\frac{32}{2}
=16
