Y=x2-6x+8

Solution for Y=x2-6x+8 equation:

=Y2-6Y+8

We move all terms to the left:

-(Y2-6Y+8)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-(+Y^2-6Y+8)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-Y^2+6Y-8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1Y^2+6Y-8=0

a = -1; b = 6; c = -8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·(-1)·(-8)
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{-(6)-2}{2*-1}=\frac{-8}{-2}
=+4
$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+2}{2*-1}=\frac{-4}{-2}
=+2
