a = 4; b = -17; c = -42;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -172-4·4·(-42)
Δ = 961
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{961}=31$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-17)-31}{2*4}=\frac{-14}{8} =-1+3/4 $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-17)+31}{2*4}=\frac{48}{8} =6 $
