Y=x2-1

Solution for Y=x2-1 equation:

=Y2-1

We move all terms to the left:

-(Y2-1)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-(+Y^2-1)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-Y^2+1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1Y^2+1=0

a = -1; b = 0; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·(-1)·1
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{-(0)-2}{2*-1}=\frac{-2}{-2}
=1
$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+2}{2*-1}=\frac{2}{-2}
=-1
