Y=x2-4x-10

Solution for Y=x2-4x-10 equation:

=Y2-4Y-10

We move all terms to the left:

-(Y2-4Y-10)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-(+Y^2-4Y-10)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-Y^2+4Y+10=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1Y^2+4Y+10=0

a = -1; b = 4; c = +10;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·(-1)·10
Δ = 56
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{56}=\sqrt{4*14}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{14}=2\sqrt{14}$
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-2\sqrt{14}}{2*-1}=\frac{-4-2\sqrt{14}}{-2}
$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+2\sqrt{14}}{2*-1}=\frac{-4+2\sqrt{14}}{-2}
