Solution for y^2-y+16=0 equation:


Simplifying
y2 + -1y + 16 = 0

Reorder the terms:
16 + -1y + y2 = 0

Solving
16 + -1y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -1y + -16 + y2 = 0 + -16

Reorder the terms:
16 + -16 + -1y + y2 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -1y + y2 = 0 + -16
-1y + y2 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 0 + -16 = -16
-1y + y2 = -16

The y term is -1y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1y + 0.25 + y2 = -16 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1y + y2 = -16 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -16 + 0.25 = -15.75
0.25 + -1y + y2 = -15.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -0.5)(y + -0.5) = -15.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
