In order for there to be two solutions, the discriminant b^2 - 4ac has to be greater than 0.
\n" ); document.write( "So we have (-3)^2 - 4(1)(-n) > 0
\n" ); document.write( "9 > -4n
\n" ); document.write( "-9/4 < n
\n" ); document.write( "n > -9/4
\n" ); document.write( "So n must be greater than -9/4 \n" ); document.write( "
