x^2-17x^2+1=0

Solution for x^2-17x^2+1=0 equation:

x^2-17x^2+1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-16x^2+1=0

a = -16; b = 0; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·(-16)·1
Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-8}{2*-16}=\frac{-8}{-32}
=1/4
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+8}{2*-16}=\frac{8}{-32}
=-1/4
