Find the roots
n1=−21,n2=0
Alternative Form
n1=−0.5,n2=0
Evaluate
3n2(−2n−1)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
3n2(−2n−1)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
n2(−2n−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
n2=0−2n−1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
n=0−2n−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
−2n−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2n=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2n=1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2n=−1
Divide both sides
22n=2−1
