F(x)=x2-2x-24

Solution for F(x)=x2-2x-24 equation:

(F)=F2-2F-24

We move all terms to the left:

(F)-(F2-2F-24)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-(+F^2-2F-24)+F=0

We get rid of parentheses

-F^2+2F+F+24=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1F^2+3F+24=0

a = -1; b = 3; c = +24;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 32-4·(-1)·24
Δ = 105
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$F_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$F_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$F_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)-\sqrt{105}}{2*-1}=\frac{-3-\sqrt{105}}{-2}
$
$F_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)+\sqrt{105}}{2*-1}=\frac{-3+\sqrt{105}}{-2}
