For this case we have the following quadratic equation:


x ^ 2 = 19x + 1

Rewriting we have:


x ^ 2 - 19x - 1 = 0

Then, using the quadratic formula we have:


x =(-b+/-√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

Substituting values:


x =(-(-19)+/-√((-19)^2-4(1)(-1)))/(2(1))

Rewriting:


x =(19+/-√(361+4))/(2)


x =(19+/-√(365))/(2)

Therefore, the solutions are given by:


x =(19+√(365))/(2)


x =(19-√(365))/(2)

Answer:

The solutions of the equation are:


x =(19+√(365))/(2)


x =(19-√(365))/(2)
