y-1/y=6

Solution for y-1/y=6 equation:

y-1/y=6

We move all terms to the left:

y-1/y-(6)=0


Domain of the equation: y!=0

y∈R


We multiply all the terms by the denominator


y*y-6*y-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-6y+y*y-1=0

Wy multiply elements

y^2-6y-1=0

a = 1; b = -6; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -62-4·1·(-1)
Δ = 40
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{40}=\sqrt{4*10}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{10}=2\sqrt{10}$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)-2\sqrt{10}}{2*1}=\frac{6-2\sqrt{10}}{2}
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)+2\sqrt{10}}{2*1}=\frac{6+2\sqrt{10}}{2}
