the general solution using the quadratic equation is:

So lets solve ( notice , , and )

Plug in a=1, b=1, and c=-4

Square 1 to get 1

Multiply to get

Combine like terms in the radicand (everything under the square root)

Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying the square root, check out this solver)
