Answer:

n = 0, n =2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(n + 1) + 3(n - 1) = 2(n - 1)(n + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

n + 1 + 3n - 3 = 2(n² - 1), that is

4n - 2 = 2n² - 2 ( subtract 4n - 2 from both sides )

0 = 2n² - 4n ← factor out 2n from each term )

0 = 2n(n - 2)

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

2n = 0 ⇒ n = 0

n - 2 = 0 ⇒ n = 2

Solve this step by step using the quadratic function y=x^2 +x+2

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

x=+ $\frac{\sqrt{4y-7}-1 }{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function =( -b+ $\sqrt{b^2+4ac}$ )/2a

x^2+x+2-y=0

x=-1+ $\sqrt{1^2-4(2-y)}$ /2

x=-1+ $\sqrt{4y-7}$ /2

x=+ $\frac{\sqrt{4y-7}-1 }{2}$

Pretty sure this is right. Would appreciate a brainliest

What does 8 + 1/3 3 = show your work please

irakobra [83]

Answer:

It's either 9 or 0.24 repeated

Step-by-step explanation:

I wasn't sure which of those would be the answer for your equation, since your equation didn't make sense.

8 + 1/3 (3) = 9

8 + 1/3 (3/1) = 9

8 + 3/3 = 9

8 + 1 = 9

---------------------- This will be the second equation:

8 + 1/33 = 0.24 repeated

8/1 + 1/33 = 0.24 repeated

8/33= 0.24 repeated

Hope this helped !!
