Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*k^2 + b*k + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
k1=D−b2ak_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
k2=−D−b2ak_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
a=1a = 1
b=0b = 0
c=−1c = -1
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(0)^2 - 4 * (1) * (-1) = 4

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
k1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

k2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
k1=1k_{1} = 1
k2=−1k_{2} = -1
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
k2+kp+q=0k^{2} + k p + q = 0
where
p=bap = \frac{b}{a}
p=0p = 0
q=caq = \frac{c}{a}
q=−1q = -1
