5n^2+2n+6 = 0

------------------------------------------------
Notice the graph does not cross the x-axis so there are no Real Number solutions.
----------------
You would have to use the Quadratic formula to find the Complex
Number solutions.

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

The discriminant -116 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.


In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -116 is + or - .

The solution is , or
Here's your graph:
