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=3200 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 14.5710678118655, 0.428932188134524. Here's your graph:

------------------
x = 15/2 + 5sqrt(2)
x = 15/2 - 5sqrt(2)
