Answer to Problem 22WE

  n=2±333

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The equation is :

  3n2+12n+1=0

Calculation:

Given:

  3n2+12n+1=03n2+12n=1................[subtract 1 from each side to isolate the constant]3n2+12n3=13..............[divide each side by 3 to make the coefficient of n2 as 1]n2+4n=13n2+4n+(42)2=13+(42)2....[add the square of the half of the coefficientof x each side]n2+4n+4=13+4(n+2)2=113.................................[(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2]n+2=±113.................................[take square root each side]n=2±113...................................[subtract 2 from each side]n=2±11333...........................[rationalize the denominator]n=2±333

So,

  n=2±333
