Represent the following as a quadratic equation.
The angry Arjun carried some arrows for fighting
with Bheeshma. With half the arrows, he cut
down the arrows thrown by Bheeshma on him
and with six other arrows, he killed the rath
driver of Bheeshma. With one arrow each, he
knocked down respectively the rath, flag and the
bow of Bheeshma. Finally, with one more than
four times the square root of arrows, he laid
Bheeshma unconscious on an arrow bed. Find
the total number of arrows Arjun had.
