Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation 2y^ + 6y-8=0

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following quadratic equation, which is given in the problem above:

2y^2+6y-8=0

2. So, to solve it, you can use the quadratic formula, which is:

y = (-b ± √ (b²-4ac)) / 2a

a=2

b=6

c=-8

3. When you susbtitute these values into the formula, you obtain:

y1=-4

y2=1
