2X2+15x+-8=0

Solution for 2X2+15x+-8=0 equation:

2X^2+15X+-8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2X^2+15X=0

a = 2; b = 15; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 152-4·2·0
Δ = 225
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{225}=15$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(15)-15}{2*2}=\frac{-30}{4}
=-7+1/2
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(15)+15}{2*2}=\frac{0}{4}
=0
