Y=2(x-4)(x-4)-2

Solution for Y=2(x-4)(x-4)-2 equation:

=2(Y-4)(Y-4)-2

We move all terms to the left:

-(2(Y-4)(Y-4)-2)=0

We multiply parentheses ..

-(2(+Y^2-4Y-4Y+16)-2)=0


We calculate terms in parentheses: -(2(+Y^2-4Y-4Y+16)-2), so:

2(+Y^2-4Y-4Y+16)-2

We multiply parentheses

2Y^2-8Y-8Y+32-2

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2Y^2-16Y+30

Back to the equation:

-(2Y^2-16Y+30)


We get rid of parentheses

-2Y^2+16Y-30=0

a = -2; b = 16; c = -30;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 162-4·(-2)·(-30)
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)-4}{2*-2}=\frac{-20}{-4}
=+5
$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)+4}{2*-2}=\frac{-12}{-4}
=+3
