Recalling Output Values for the Constraint x+y2=1x + y^2 = 1

A laboratory technician is verifying a safety model represented by the equation x+y2=1x + y^2 = 1. According to the standard evaluation process for this equation, the yy term is isolated to get y2=x+1y^2 = -x + 1 and the input value x=0x = 0 is substituted. Based on the provided example, what are the two specific numerical values for yy that result from this calculation, demonstrating that the equation does not define a function?
