Answer:
[tex]y= \frac{2+\isqrt{14}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]y= \frac{2-\isqrt{14}}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]y^2 - 2y = \frac{-9}{2}[/tex]
add 9/2 on both sides
[tex]y^2 - 2y + \frac{9}{2}=0[/tex]
Apply quadratic formula and solve for y
a= 1, b=-2 and c= 9/2
[tex]y= \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
[tex]y= \frac{2+-\sqrt{(-2)^2-4*1*9/2}}{2(1)}[/tex]
[tex]y= \frac{2+-i\sqrt{14}}{2}[/tex]
WE cannot simplify it further
[tex]y= \frac{2+i\sqrt{14}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]y= \frac{2-i\sqrt{14}}{2}[/tex]
