Understand the problem

Solve the following equation:

$x^2+5x+4=0$

Step-by-step solution

The parameters are expressed in the quadratic equation as follows:

aX2+bX+c=0

We substitute into the formula:

-5±√(5²-4*1*4)
2

-5±√(25-16)
2

-5±√9
2

-5±3
2

The symbol ± means that we have to solve this part twice, once with a plus and a second time with a minus,

This is how we later get two results.

-5-3 = -8
-8/2 = -4

-5+3 = -2
-2/2 = -1

And thus we find out that X = -1, -4

Final Answer

$x_1=-1$ $x_2=-4$
