42+y-y^2=0

Solution for 42+y-y^2=0 equation:

42+y-y^2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1y^2+y+42=0

a = -1; b = 1; c = +42;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·(-1)·42
Δ = 169
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{169}=13$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-13}{2*-1}=\frac{-14}{-2}
=+7
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+13}{2*-1}=\frac{12}{-2}
=-6
