s2+3s-4=0

Solution for s2+3s-4=0 equation:

s2+3s-4=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

s^2+3s-4=0

a = 1; b = 3; c = -4;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 32-4·1·(-4)
Δ = 25
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$s_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$s_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$s_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)-5}{2*1}=\frac{-8}{2}
=-4
$
$s_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)+5}{2*1}=\frac{2}{2}
=1
