$${y}=−\sqrt{\mathrm{6}−{y}} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{6}−{y} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}−\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Delta=\left(\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\left(−\mathrm{6}\right)=\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{24}=\mathrm{25} \\ $$$${y}=\frac{−\mathrm{1}\pm\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${y}_{\mathrm{1}} =\frac{−\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}=−\frac{\mathrm{6}}{\mathrm{2}}=−\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${y}_{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{−\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$ | ||
