Y=-2x^2-7x+4

Solution for Y=-2x^2-7x+4 equation:

=-2Y^2-7Y+4

We move all terms to the left:

-(-2Y^2-7Y+4)=0

We get rid of parentheses

2Y^2+7Y-4=0

a = 2; b = 7; c = -4;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 72-4·2·(-4)
Δ = 81
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{81}=9$
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(7)-9}{2*2}=\frac{-16}{4}
=-4
$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(7)+9}{2*2}=\frac{2}{4}
=1/2
