y-(2(-2)-1/2)=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


y*2)-(2(-2)-1=0

Wy multiply elements

2y^2-1=0

a = 2; b = 0; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·2·(-1)
Δ = 8
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:

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