Identify equation: Identify the equation to be solved. The equation is 0=−(y2−2y+x).
Rewrite without negative sign: Rewrite the equation without the negative sign by multiplying both sides by −1 to get a standard quadratic form. The equation becomes y2−2y+x=0.
Recognize quadratic form: Recognize that the equation is a quadratic equation in the form of ay2+by+c=0, where a=1, b=−2, and c=x.
Use quadratic formula: To solve the quadratic equation, we can either factor it, complete the square, or use the quadratic formula. Since we do not have specific values for y and x, we will use the quadratic formula: y=2a−b±b2−4ac.
Substitute values into formula: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula. This gives us y=2⋅1−(−2)±(−2)2−4⋅1⋅x.
Simplify equation: Simplify the equation by performing the operations inside the formula. This gives us y=22±4−4x.
Further simplify equation: Further simplify the equation by dividing the terms inside the square root as well as the 2 outside. This gives us y=1±1−x.
