Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-4 + -2y + y2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -4 + -2y + y2 = 0 Solving -4 + -2y + y2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '4' to each side of the equation. -4 + -2y + 4 + y2 = 0 + 4 Reorder the terms: -4 + 4 + -2y + y2 = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0 0 + -2y + y2 = 0 + 4 -2y + y2 = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4 -2y + y2 = 4 The y term is -2y. Take half its coefficient (-1). Square it (1) and add it to both sides. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -2y + 1 + y2 = 4 + 1 Reorder the terms: 1 + -2y + y2 = 4 + 1 Combine like terms: 4 + 1 = 5 1 + -2y + y2 = 5 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (y + -1)(y + -1) = 5 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.236067978 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (y + -1) equal to 2.236067978 and -2.236067978.

Subproblem 1

y + -1 = 2.236067978 Simplifying y + -1 = 2.236067978 Reorder the terms: -1 + y = 2.236067978 Solving -1 + y = 2.236067978 Solving for variable 'y'.
