x^2-1.5x-1.75=0

Solution for x^2-1.5x-1.75=0 equation:

x^2-1.5x-1.75=0

a = 1; b = -1.5; c = -1.75;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -1.52-4·1·(-1.75)
Δ = 9.25
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{-(-1.5)-\sqrt{9.25}}{2*1}=\frac{1.5-\sqrt{9.25}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1.5)+\sqrt{9.25}}{2*1}=\frac{1.5+\sqrt{9.25}}{2}
