Solve n^2-n-1 - ScanMath

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

1 + 4

Add the numbers

5

n = \frac{1 \pm 5}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

n = \frac{1 + 5}{2} n = \frac{1 - 5}{2}

Solution

n_{1} = \frac{1 - 5}{2}, n_{2} = \frac{1 + 5}{2}

Alternative Form

n_{1} \approx - 0.618034, n_{2} \approx 1.618034
