Question 887588: (n^2)+n=73162 then what is the value of n
Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(n^2) +n = 73162
(n^2) +n - 73162 = 0
use quadratic formula for solutions, n = (-b + or - square root(b^2-4ac)) / 2a
n = (-1 + square root(1^2 - 4*1*(-73162) / 2*1 = 269.985212165
n = (-1 - square root(1^2 - 4*1*(-73162) / 2*1 = −270.985212165
there are two solutions for n, −270.985212165 or 269.985212165
