解:$(1)x-5=±4$
$x_1=9 $,$x_2=1$
$(2)x^2-2x+1=4+1$
$(x-1)^2=5$
$x-1=±\sqrt 5$
$x_1=1+\sqrt 5 $,$x_2=1-\sqrt 5$
$(3)(y-1)^2-2y(y-1)=0$
$(y-1)(y-1-2y)=0$
$y_{1}=1$,$y_{2}=-1$
$(4)a=2$,$b=-7$,$c=1$
$△=(-7)^2-4×2×1=41>0$
∴$x=\frac {7±\sqrt {41}}{2×2}$
$x_1=\frac {7+\sqrt {41}}4 $,$x_2=\frac {7-\sqrt {41}}4$
