a = 4; b = -16; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -162-4·4·1
Δ = 240
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{240}=\sqrt{16*15}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{15}=4\sqrt{15}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)-4\sqrt{15}}{2*4}=\frac{16-4\sqrt{15}}{8}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)+4\sqrt{15}}{2*4}=\frac{16+4\sqrt{15}}{8}
