Set the factor '(-1 + y + y2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1 + y + y2 = 0

Solving
-1 + y + y2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + y + 1 + y2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + y + y2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + y + y2 = 0 + 1
y + y2 = 0 + 1

y + y2 = 1

The y term is y.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
y + 0.25 + y2 = 1 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + y + y2 = 1 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.25 = 1.25
0.25 + y + y2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.5)(y + 0.5) = 1.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.118033989
