Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminate the fractions first.  Multiply all terms by 100, obtaining:

y^2 - 2y  + 4 = 0.  The quadratic equation is the faster method here.  The discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, is 4 -4(1)(4), or 4(-15).  Because this result is negative, the equation has two complex roots:

      -(-2) ± √(4)(-15)

x = ------------------------

                 2

or

      2 ± 2i√15

x = -----------------

             2
