b(b-17)=0

Solution for b(b-17)=0 equation:

b(b-17)=0

We multiply parentheses

b^2-17b=0

a = 1; b = -17; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -172-4·1·0
Δ = 289
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$b_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$b_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{289}=17$
$b_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-17)-17}{2*1}=\frac{0}{2}
=0
$
$b_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-17)+17}{2*1}=\frac{34}{2}
=17
