Y=n^2+8n+15

Solution for Y=n^2+8n+15 equation:

=Y^2+8Y+15

We move all terms to the left:

-(Y^2+8Y+15)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-Y^2-8Y-15=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1Y^2-8Y-15=0

a = -1; b = -8; c = -15;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·(-1)·(-15)
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-2}{2*-1}=\frac{6}{-2}
=-3
$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+2}{2*-1}=\frac{10}{-2}
=-5
