Homework Statement
Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation for (a) x in terms of y and (b) y in terms of x.
Homework Equations
4x^2 - 4xy + 1 - y^2 = 0
The Attempt at a Solution
I am not really sure where to start at all. If I could just figure out the values for a, b, and c of the quadratic formula then the rest would be simple (for me). Do you take the values from the current equation like this?
a = 4, b = -4y, c = 1 - y^2
I feel as if I am over analyzing this problem. If anyone could point me to a start that would be greatly appreciated. There are no examples from my textbook that pertain to this exact type of problem.
