4s2-12s-9=0

Solution for 4s2-12s-9=0 equation:

4s^2-12s-9=0

a = 4; b = -12; c = -9;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -122-4·4·(-9)
Δ = 288
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$s_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$s_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{288}=\sqrt{144*2}=\sqrt{144}*\sqrt{2}=12\sqrt{2}$
$s_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)-12\sqrt{2}}{2*4}=\frac{12-12\sqrt{2}}{8}
$
$s_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+12\sqrt{2}}{2*4}=\frac{12+12\sqrt{2}}{8}
