Hi
Arithmetic : d = 3
3n^2 + n = 690
3n^2 + n - 690 = 0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:
For these solutions to exist, the discriminantshould not be a negative number.
First, we need to compute the discriminant: .
Discriminant d=8281 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions:.
Quadratic expressioncan be factored:
Again, the answer is: 15, -15.3333333333333. Here's your graph:
n = 15
x = 44
check: 15(2 + 44)/2 = 345
