Question
Solve the equation
n1=−222,n2=0,n3=222
Alternative Form
n1≈−2.345208,n2=0,n3≈2.345208
Evaluate

Evaluate
2×2n×n2
Multiply the terms
4n×n2
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
4n1+2
Add the numbers
4n3
22n=4n3
Add or subtract both sides
22n−4n3=0
Factor the expression
2n(11−2n2)=0
Divide both sides
n(11−2n2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
n=011−2n2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
11−2n2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2n2=0−11
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2n2=−11
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2n2=11
Divide both sides
22n2=211
Divide the numbers
n2=211
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
n=±211
