You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Yes there is. Quadratic equations are always solvable by using the quadratic formula: $\"x+=+%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F2a\"$
\n" ); document.write( "For your equation, this would look like:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-4%2B-sqrt%284%5E2-4%281%29%282%29%29%29%2F2%281%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-4%2B-sqrt%2816-8%29%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-4%2B-sqrt%288%29%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-4%2B-2sqrt%282%29%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The roots are:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-2%2Bsqrt%282%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-2-sqrt%282%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
