What is the formula of the quadratic equation?

For a quadratic equation of the form [tex]$a x^{2}+b x+c=0$[/tex] the solutions are

[tex]$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}[/tex]

Therefore by using the formula we have

[tex]$x^{2}-16 x+54=0[/tex]

Let, a = 1, b = -16 and c = 54

Substitute the values in the above equation, and we get

[tex]$x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-16) \pm \sqrt{(-16)^{2}-4 \cdot 1 \cdot 54}}{2 \cdot 1}$[/tex]

simplifying the equation, we get

[tex]$x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-16) \pm 2 \sqrt{10}}{2 \cdot 1}[/tex]

[tex]$x_{1}=\frac{-(-16)+2 \sqrt{10}}{2 \cdot 1}, x_{2}=\frac{-(-16)-2 \sqrt{10}}{2 \cdot 1}$[/tex]

[tex]$x=8+\sqrt{10}, x=8-\sqrt{10}[/tex]

Therefore, the roots of the given polynomials are

[tex]$x=8+\sqrt{10},[/tex]  and [tex]$ x=8-\sqrt{10}[/tex].
