Show Solution

Find the roots

n_{1} = - 2, n_{2} = - 1, n_{3} = 0

Evaluate

n (n + 1) \times \frac{n + 2}{6}

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

n (n + 1) \times \frac{n + 2}{6} = 0

Multiply the terms

n (n + 1) \times \frac{n + 2}{6}

Multiply the terms

\frac{n ( n + 2 )}{6} (n + 1)

Multiply the terms

\frac{n ( n + 2 ) ( n + 1 )}{6}

\frac{n ( n + 2 ) ( n + 1 )}{6} = 0

Simplify

n (n + 2) (n + 1) = 0

Separate the equation into 3 possible cases

n = 0 n + 2 = 0 n + 1 = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

Evaluate

n + 2 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

n = 0 - 2

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

n = - 2

n = 0 n = - 2 n + 1 = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

Evaluate

n + 1 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

n = 0 - 1

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

n = - 1

n = 0 n = - 2 n = - 1

Solution

n_{1} = - 2, n_{2} = - 1, n_{3} = 0
