Solve n^2 - 3n - 1

If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses

3^{2} + 4

Evaluate the power

9 + 4

Add the numbers

13

n = \frac{3 \pm 13}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

n = \frac{3 + 13}{2} n = \frac{3 - 13}{2}

Solution

n_{1} = \frac{3 - 13}{2}, n_{2} = \frac{3 + 13}{2}

Alternative Form

n_{1} \approx - 0.302776, n_{2} \approx 3.302776
