a = 1; b = -10.4; c = -5;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -10.42-4·1·(-5)
Δ = 128.16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10.4)-\sqrt{128.16}}{2*1}=\frac{10.4-\sqrt{128.16}}{2}
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10.4)+\sqrt{128.16}}{2*1}=\frac{10.4+\sqrt{128.16}}{2}
