Answer:
[tex]x^{2} -2x-4=0[/tex]
Solving Steps
Use the quadratic formula
[tex]x=\frac{-(-2)(+/-)\sqrt{(-2)^2-4*1*(-4)} }{2*1}[/tex]
Multiply / Remove the parentheses / Evaluate
[tex]x=\frac{2(+/-)\sqrt{4+16} }{2}[/tex]
Calculate
[tex]x=\frac{2(+/-)\sqrt{20} }{2}[/tex]
Separate the solutions
[tex]x=\frac{2(+/-)2\sqrt{5} }{2} \\x=\frac{2-2\sqrt{5} }2}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]x=1+\sqrt{5} \\x=1-\sqrt{5}[/tex]
