Solving for $g$ in a quadratic equation [closed]
$begingroup$
is there a way to get that g = ?
I want to get the g out . Getting nasty results like
2h = gg - g . I'm stuck . Is there a way to find square root of gg -g or is there any other solution . Thank you

You're going to have to elaborate. Do you mean solve for $g$ in terms of $h$?

What's the difference between g and $g$?

$g^2-g-2h=0$. This is called a quadratic equation and there is a standard formula for finding a solution to this type of equation.
If the equation is $ax^2+bx+c=0$, the solutions are given by:
$x = frac{-b + sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ and $x = frac{-b - sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$.
In your case, $a=1, b=-1, c=-2h$, so the solutions are:
$g = frac{1 + sqrt{1+8h}}{2}$ and $g = frac{1 - sqrt{1+8h}}{2}$.
You will have to constrain the problem further to determine if any or both of the above solutions are valid.

Multiply out to obtain the quadratic:
$$h = {g^2 - g over 2}$$
so $$g^2 - 2 h - g = 0$$.
Use the quadratic formula:
$$g = frac{1}{2} left( 1pm sqrt{8 h+1} right)$$

that is what i was looking for , could you please explain this shortly
