Given the equation:

4 (y^2) = 32

Solve for y.

Solution:

In order to solve for y, we divide first both sides by 4.

4 (y^2) = 32

4 (y^2)/4 = 32/4

y^2 = 8

Take the square root of both sides by enclosing with a radical sign or raising both sides by ½.

(y^2)^½ = (8)^½

y = 2.82

Final answer:

y = 2.82
