Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=140 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 11.9160797830996, 0.0839202169003839. Here's your graph:

There are 2 real roots, , and

The online solution always uses x, just substitute u for it.
