y2+4y-77=0

Solution for y2+4y-77=0 equation:

y2+4y-77=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

y^2+4y-77=0

a = 1; b = 4; c = -77;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·1·(-77)
Δ = 324
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{324}=18$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-18}{2*1}=\frac{-22}{2}
=-11
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+18}{2*1}=\frac{14}{2}
=7
