Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable
Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"2x%5E2%2B17x%2B-19+=+0\") has the following solutons:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " For these solutions to exist, the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\" should not be a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " First, we need to compute the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\": \"b%5E2-4ac=%2817%29%5E2-4%2A2%2A-19=441\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=441 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28-17%2B-sqrt%28+441+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%2817%29%2Bsqrt%28+441+%29%29%2F2%5C2+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%2817%29-sqrt%28+441+%29%29%2F2%5C2+=+-9.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression \"2x%5E2%2B17x%2B-19\" can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " \"2x%5E2%2B17x%2B-19+=+2%28x-1%29%2A%28x--9.5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: 1, -9.5.\n" ); document.write( "Here's your graph:
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+2%2Ax%5E2%2B17%2Ax%2B-19+%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So x = 1.
\n" ); document.write( "Which makes the Length 7 and the width 7. It's a square
