Solve x*x-4x-4=0 - ScanMath

Evaluate

x \times x - 4 x - 4 = 0

Multiply the terms

x^{2} - 4 x - 4 = 0

Substitute a= 1,b= - 4 and c= - 4 into the quadratic formula x = \frac{- b \pm b ^{2} - 4 a c}{2 a}

x = \frac{4 \pm ( - 4 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 4 )}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = \frac{4 \pm 32}{2}

Simplify the radical expression

More Steps

x = \frac{4 \pm 4 2}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x = \frac{4 + 4 2}{2} x = \frac{4 - 4 2}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = 2 + 22 x = \frac{4 - 4 2}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = 2 + 22 x = 2 - 22

Solution

x_{1} = 2 - 22, x_{2} = 2 + 22

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 0.828427, x_{2} \approx 4.828427
