Solve for yy in simplest radical form: x2+y2+2x3y+4=0x^2 + y^2 + 2x - 3y + 4 = 0

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The given equation is x2+y2+2x3y+4=0x^{2}+y^{2}+2x-3y+4=0.
2. We need to solve for yy in terms of xx.
3. The solution should be in the simplest radical form.

STEP 2

The given equation is a quadratic in yy. We will complete the square for both xx and yy to transform the equation into a form that allows us to solve for yy.

STEP 3

Group the xx terms and the yy terms together.
(x2+2x)+(y23y)=4(x^{2}+2x) + (y^{2}-3y) = -4

STEP 4

Complete the square for the xx terms. We take half of the coefficient of xx (which is 2), square it, and add it inside the parenthesis. We must also subtract it outside the parenthesis to keep the equation balanced.
(x2+2x+(22)2)(22)2+(y23y)=4\left(x^{2}+2x+\left(\frac{2}{2}\right)^2\right) - \left(\frac{2}{2}\right)^2 + (y^{2}-3y) = -4

STEP 5

Simplify the equation.
(x2+2x+1)1+(y23y)=4\left(x^{2}+2x+1\right) - 1 + (y^{2}-3y) = -4

STEP 6

Complete the square for the yy terms. We take half of the coefficient of yy (which is -3), square it, and add it inside the parenthesis. We must also subtract it outside the parenthesis to keep the equation balanced.
(x2+2x+1)1+(y23y+(32)2)(32)2=4\left(x^{2}+2x+1\right) - 1 + \left(y^{2}-3y+\left(\frac{-3}{2}\right)^2\right) - \left(\frac{-3}{2}\right)^2 = -4

STEP 7

Simplify the equation.
(x2+2x+1)1+(y23y+94)94=4\left(x^{2}+2x+1\right) - 1 + \left(y^{2}-3y+\frac{9}{4}\right) - \frac{9}{4} = -4

STEP 8

Recognize that the expressions inside the parentheses are perfect squares.
(x+1)21+(y32)294=4\left(x+1\right)^2 - 1 + \left(y-\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 - \frac{9}{4} = -4

STEP 9

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
(x+1)2+(y32)2=4+1+94\left(x+1\right)^2 + \left(y-\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 = -4 + 1 + \frac{9}{4}

STEP 10

Simplify the right side of the equation.
(x+1)2+(y32)2=164+44+94\left(x+1\right)^2 + \left(y-\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 = -\frac{16}{4} + \frac{4}{4} + \frac{9}{4}

STEP 11

Combine the fractions on the right side of the equation.
(x+1)2+(y32)2=34\left(x+1\right)^2 + \left(y-\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 = -\frac{3}{4}

STEP 12

Notice that the equation has a negative value on the right side, which implies that there are no real solutions for yy because the sum of two squares cannot be negative. However, if we are looking for complex solutions, we can proceed.

STEP 13

Isolate the term with yy on one side of the equation.
(y32)2=34(x+1)2\left(y-\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 = -\frac{3}{4} - \left(x+1\right)^2

STEP 14

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for yy.
y32=±34(x+1)2y-\frac{3}{2} = \pm\sqrt{-\frac{3}{4} - \left(x+1\right)^2}

STEP 15

Add 32\frac{3}{2} to both sides of the equation to solve for yy.
y=32±34(x+1)2y = \frac{3}{2} \pm\sqrt{-\frac{3}{4} - \left(x+1\right)^2}

STEP 16

Recognize that the expression inside the square root is negative, which indicates the presence of an imaginary number. We can factor out 1-1 to show the imaginary unit ii.
y=32±i34+(x+1)2y = \frac{3}{2} \pm i\sqrt{\frac{3}{4} + \left(x+1\right)^2}

STEP 17

Simplify the expression inside the square root.
y=32±i34+x2+2x+1y = \frac{3}{2} \pm i\sqrt{\frac{3}{4} + x^2 + 2x + 1}

STEP 18

Combine the terms inside the square root.
y=32±i34+x2+2x+1y = \frac{3}{2} \pm i\sqrt{\frac{3}{4} + x^2 + 2x + 1}
Since we cannot further simplify the expression inside the square root without specific values for xx, this is the simplest radical form for complex solutions.
