Show that y^2-4y-2=0

We have a quadratic equation here.

Do you want to factor this equation?

What exactly do you want to do with this equation?

The next question uses this equation using the formula. So I'm guessing this is factors

The next question uses this equation using the formula. So I'm guessing this is factors.

Okay, you want to factor this equation, right?

We have this:

y^2 - 4y - 2 = 0

You can use the quadratic formula or completing the square to solve this question.

well thanks for the help anyways

Do what I said.

Use the quadratic formula or completing the square.

You can search the net for many math sites that easily teach you about the quadratic formula and/or completing the square.

Ya i know the quadratic formula and have done the next question which requires you to use it, ill have to research the completing the square tho
