Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-3 + -3y + 4y2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -3 + -3y + 4y2 = 0 Solving -3 + -3y + 4y2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 4 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '4'. -0.75 + -0.75y + y2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '0.75' to each side of the equation. -0.75 + -0.75y + 0.75 + y2 = 0 + 0.75 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + 0.75 + -0.75y + y2 = 0 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + -0.75y + y2 = 0 + 0.75 -0.75y + y2 = 0 + 0.75 Combine like terms: 0 + 0.75 = 0.75 -0.75y + y2 = 0.75 The y term is -0.75y. Take half its coefficient (-0.375). Square it (0.140625) and add it to both sides. Add '0.140625' to each side of the equation. -0.75y + 0.140625 + y2 = 0.75 + 0.140625 Reorder the terms: 0.140625 + -0.75y + y2 = 0.75 + 0.140625 Combine like terms: 0.75 + 0.140625 = 0.890625 0.140625 + -0.75y + y2 = 0.890625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (y + -0.375)(y + -0.375) = 0.890625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.943729304 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (y + -0.375) equal to 0.943729304 and -0.943729304.

Subproblem 1

y + -0.375 = 0.943729304 Simplifying y + -0.375 = 0.943729304 Reorder the terms: -0.375 + y = 0.943729304 Solving -0.375 + y = 0.943729304 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.375' to each side of the equation. -0.375 + 0.375 + y = 0.943729304 + 0.375 Combine like terms: -0.375 + 0.375 = 0.000 0.000 + y = 0.943729304 + 0.375 y = 0.943729304 + 0.375 Combine like terms: 0.943729304 + 0.375 = 1.318729304 y = 1.318729304 Simplifying y = 1.318729304

Subproblem 2

y + -0.375 = -0.943729304 Simplifying y + -0.375 = -0.943729304 Reorder the terms: -0.375 + y = -0.943729304 Solving -0.375 + y = -0.943729304 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.375' to each side of the equation. -0.375 + 0.375 + y = -0.943729304 + 0.375 Combine like terms: -0.375 + 0.375 = 0.000 0.000 + y = -0.943729304 + 0.375 y = -0.943729304 + 0.375 Combine like terms: -0.943729304 + 0.375 = -0.568729304 y = -0.568729304 Simplifying y = -0.568729304
