You asked:

Solve the equation \(6 \cdot {y}^{2} = 0\) for the variable \(y\).

MathBot Answer:

\[y = 0\]

Solve by quadratic formula:

Given a quadratic equation \(a x^{2} + b x + c = 0\), where \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) are constants and \(a \ne 0\), the solutions are given by the quadratic formula: \[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}\] In this case \(a=6\), \(b=0\), and \(c=0\).

The discriminant is the quantity under the square root sign in the quadratic formula, and its sign determines the number of solutions to the quadratic equation when the coefficients are real. The discriminant is:\[b^{2}-4ac = 0^{2} - 24 \cdot 0=0 = 0\] The discriminant is equal to zero, so this quadratic equation has one real solution.

The solution is: \[y = \frac{-0 \pm \sqrt{0}}{2 \cdot 6} = 0\]
