let's think about it, let's divide say hmmm 15 by 0, in a fraction

\bf \cfrac{\textit{part of a pie}}{\textit{whole pie}}\qquad \cfrac{15}{0}\implies \cfrac{\textit{taking 15 pieces}}{\textit{from a whole pie that's 0, or not there}}

now, how can you take any pieces of a pie that's non-existent? I mean that requires magic!!.

now, let's do it using a simple long division, 15 ÷ 0, so 0 is the divisor, anything times 0 is 0, what is our first digit in the quotient to get 15? 0 * 15 = 0, 0 * 1,000,000 = 0, there isn't any number we can possible use to get a quotient.

Answer:

y = x^2 - 4x - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots are  2 + √10 and 2 - √10, so in factor form we have:

(x -  (2 + √10))(x - (2 - √10))

= ( x -  2 - √10)(x - 2 + √10)

= x^2 - 2x + √10x - 2x + 4 - 2√10 - √10x  + 2√10 - √100

=  x^2 -4x + 4 - 10

= x^2 - 4x - 6.
