x^2-2x-744=0

Solution for x^2-2x-744=0 equation:

x^2-2x-744=0

a = 1; b = -2; c = -744;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·1·(-744)
Δ = 2980
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{2980}=\sqrt{4*745}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{745}=2\sqrt{745}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-2\sqrt{745}}{2*1}=\frac{2-2\sqrt{745}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+2\sqrt{745}}{2*1}=\frac{2+2\sqrt{745}}{2}
