2y^{2}\times 11=1
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 100y^{3}, the least common multiple of 50y,100y^{3}.
22y^{2}=1
Multiply 2 and 11 to get 22.
y^{2}=\frac{1}{22}
Divide both sides by 22.
y=\frac{\sqrt{22}}{22} y=-\frac{\sqrt{22}}{22}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
2y^{2}\times 11=1
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 100y^{3}, the least common multiple of 50y,100y^{3}.
22y^{2}=1
Multiply 2 and 11 to get 22.
22y^{2}-1=0
Subtract 1 from both sides.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 22\left(-1\right)}}{2\times 22}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 22 for a, 0 for b, and -1 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 22\left(-1\right)}}{2\times 22}
Square 0.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{-88\left(-1\right)}}{2\times 22}
Multiply -4 times 22.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{88}}{2\times 22}
Multiply -88 times -1.
y=\frac{0±2\sqrt{22}}{2\times 22}
Take the square root of 88.
y=\frac{0±2\sqrt{22}}{44}
Multiply 2 times 22.
y=\frac{\sqrt{22}}{22}
Now solve the equation y=\frac{0±2\sqrt{22}}{44} when ± is plus.
y=-\frac{\sqrt{22}}{22}
Now solve the equation y=\frac{0±2\sqrt{22}}{44} when ± is minus.
y=\frac{\sqrt{22}}{22} y=-\frac{\sqrt{22}}{22}
The equation is now solved.
