4y2+10=42

Solution for 4y2+10=42 equation:

4y^2+10=42

We move all terms to the left:

4y^2+10-(42)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

4y^2-32=0

a = 4; b = 0; c = -32;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·4·(-32)
Δ = 512
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{512}=\sqrt{256*2}=\sqrt{256}*\sqrt{2}=16\sqrt{2}$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-16\sqrt{2}}{2*4}=\frac{0-16\sqrt{2}}{8}
=-\frac{16\sqrt{2}}{8}
=-2\sqrt{2}
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+16\sqrt{2}}{2*4}=\frac{0+16\sqrt{2}}{8}
=\frac{16\sqrt{2}}{8}
=2\sqrt{2}
