Solve 2y296=02y^2 - 96 = 0 for real yy. Round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth. If there is more than one solution, list them separated by commas. If there is no solution, click "No solution".

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The given equation is 2y296=02y^{2} - 96 = 0.
2. We are solving for the real number yy.
3. If there are multiple solutions, they should be separated by commas.
4. The solutions should be rounded to the nearest hundredth.

STEP 2

To solve for yy, we first need to isolate the y2y^2 term. We can start by adding 96 to both sides of the equation.
2y296+96=0+962y^{2} - 96 + 96 = 0 + 96

STEP 3

Simplify the equation by combining like terms.
2y2=962y^{2} = 96

STEP 4

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for y2y^2.
2y22=962\frac{2y^{2}}{2} = \frac{96}{2}

STEP 5

Simplify the equation to find y2y^2.
y2=48y^{2} = 48

STEP 6

To find yy, we take the square root of both sides of the equation. Since we are looking for real number solutions, we consider both the positive and negative square roots.
y=±48y = \pm\sqrt{48}

STEP 7

Simplify the square root. We can rewrite 48\sqrt{48} as 16×3\sqrt{16 \times 3} to make it easier to simplify.
y=±16×3y = \pm\sqrt{16 \times 3}

STEP 8

Since 16=4\sqrt{16} = 4, we can further simplify the square root.
y=±43y = \pm4\sqrt{3}

STEP 9

Now we approximate 3\sqrt{3} to the nearest hundredth. 3\sqrt{3} is approximately 1.731.73 when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
y±4×1.73y \approx \pm4 \times 1.73

STEP 10

Multiply 4 by 1.73 to find the approximate values of yy.
y±4×1.73y \approx \pm4 \times 1.73

STEP 11

Calculate the positive and negative approximate values of yy.
y+4×1.73=+6.92y \approx +4 \times 1.73 = +6.92 y4×1.73=6.92y \approx -4 \times 1.73 = -6.92

STEP 12

List the solutions, separated by a comma, and rounded to the nearest hundredth.
y6.92,6.92y \approx 6.92, -6.92
The solutions to the equation 2y296=02y^{2} - 96 = 0 are y6.92y \approx 6.92 and y6.92y \approx -6.92, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
