The first step when we solve the second-degree equation is to complete the square on the left-hand side

Vorlage:Displayed math

The equation can now be written as

Vorlage:Displayed math

and has, after taking the square root, the solutions:

  • \displaystyle y+1 = \sqrt{16} = 4\,\textrm{,}\ which gives \displaystyle y=-1+4=3\,\textrm{,}
  • \displaystyle y+1 = -\sqrt{16} = -4\,\textrm{,}\ which gives \displaystyle y=-1-4=-5\,\textrm{.}


A quick check shows that \displaystyle y=-5 and \displaystyle y=3 satisfy the equation:

  • y = -5: \displaystyle \ \text{LHS} = (-5)^{2} + 2\cdot (-5)-15 = 25-10-15 = 0 = \text{RHS,}
  • y = 3: \displaystyle \ \text{LHS} = 3^{2} + 2\cdot 3 - 15 = 9+6-15 = 0 = \text{RHS.}
