2p2+-5p+-2=0

Solution for 2p2+-5p+-2=0 equation:

2p^2+-5p+-2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2p^2-5p=0

a = 2; b = -5; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -52-4·2·0
Δ = 25
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)-5}{2*2}=\frac{0}{4}
=0
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)+5}{2*2}=\frac{10}{4}
=2+1/2
