Question
Solve the equation
Solve for n
Solve for u
n=0n=1
Evaluate
un2=2u(n×1)−un×1
Remove the parentheses
un2=2un×1−un×1
Simplify
More Steps

Evaluate
2un×1−un×1
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
2un−un×1
Multiply the terms
2un−un
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(2−1)un
Subtract the numbers
un
un2=un
Add or subtract both sides
un2−un=0
Factor the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
un2−un
Rewrite the expression
un×n−un
Factor out un from the expression
un(n−1)
un(n−1)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
un=0n−1=0
Solve the equation for n
n=0n−1=0
Solution
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=0n=1
