Solution for (x-2)2=(x-1)(x+1) equation:



(x-2)2=(x-1)(x+1)
We move all terms to the left:
(x-2)2-((x-1)(x+1))=0
We use the square of the difference formula
x^2+(x-2)2+1=0
We multiply parentheses
x^2+2x-4+1=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
x^2+2x-3=0
a = 1; b = 2; c = -3;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·1·(-3)
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-4}{2*1}=\frac{-6}{2} =-3 $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+4}{2*1}=\frac{2}{2} =1 $
