y=60/y

Solution for y=60/y equation:

y=60/y

We move all terms to the left:

y-(60/y)=0


Domain of the equation: y)!=0

y!=0/1

y!=0

y∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

y-(+60/y)=0

We get rid of parentheses

y-60/y=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


y*y-60=0

Wy multiply elements

y^2-60=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -60;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-60)
Δ = 240
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{240}=\sqrt{16*15}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{15}=4\sqrt{15}$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-4\sqrt{15}}{2*1}=\frac{0-4\sqrt{15}}{2}
=-\frac{4\sqrt{15}}{2}
=-2\sqrt{15}
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+4\sqrt{15}}{2*1}=\frac{0+4\sqrt{15}}{2}
=\frac{4\sqrt{15}}{2}
=2\sqrt{15}
