Question

What is the value of n in the equation 0=18+128n^2?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\text{no soltion in the set of real numbers}}\\\boxed{n=-\dfrac{3}{8}i\ \vee\ n=\dfrac{3}{8}i\ \text{in the set of complex numbers}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$18+128n^2=0\qquad\text{subtract 18 from both sides}\\\\128n^2=-18\qquad\text{divide both sides by 128}\\\\n^2=-\dfrac{18}{128}\\\\n^2=-\dfrac{18:2}{128:2}\\\\n^2=-\dfrac{9}{64}$
