s2+6s+8=0

Solution for s2+6s+8=0 equation:

s2+6s+8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

s^2+6s+8=0

a = 1; b = 6; c = +8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·1·8
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$s_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$s_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$s_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-2}{2*1}=\frac{-8}{2}
=-4
$
$s_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+2}{2*1}=\frac{-4}{2}
=-2
