MEDAL!!!

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

\[\huge 3n^2 - 11 = 8n \]

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

solve for n?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

yes using quadratic formula

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

\[\large 3n^2 - 8n - 11 = 0\] would that equation be correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

use quadratic formula \[\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac }}{ 2a }\] where ax^2+bx+c=0 yes this equation is correct substitute values:

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

\[n = \frac{ 8 \pm \sqrt{64 - 4(-33)} }{ 6 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks good

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

yeah correct now simplify this

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

\[n = \frac{ 8 \pm \sqrt{196} }{ 8 } = \frac{ 8 + 14 }{ 8 }\]

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

how denominator became 8 from 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did your 6 become an 8 in the denominator

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

everything is correct exept the denominator

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

sorry typo :\

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah ;)

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

it would be \[\frac{ 8 \pm 14 }{ ? }\]

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

woops 6 instead of ?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

(3.66, -1)

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

correct

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

thank you @Lily2913 @AlexandervonHumboldt2
