To answer the question, you need to solve the equation

y = 0,   i.e.

 +  +  = 0.


As the first step, multiply both sides by 10 to rid of the denominators. You will get

 = 0.

Discriminant d =  = 81 - 88 = -7  is negative,

So the equation HAS NO real solutions.


It means that your equation does not describe the real physical situation.
