y2+12y+16=0

Solution for y2+12y+16=0 equation:

y2+12y+16=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

y^2+12y+16=0

a = 1; b = 12; c = +16;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 122-4·1·16
Δ = 80
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{80}=\sqrt{16*5}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{5}=4\sqrt{5}$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(12)-4\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{-12-4\sqrt{5}}{2}
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(12)+4\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{-12+4\sqrt{5}}{2}
