The general form of a quadratic (second degree) equation is
, where
is called the Discriminant.
The Discriminant determines how many roots the equation will have as follows:
i) if D>0, the equation has 2 roots.
ii) if D=0, the equation has 1 double root.
iii) if D<0, the equation has no roots.
In our equation,
, a=1, b=-5, c=7
so the discriminant is D=(-5)^2-4*1*7=25-28<0
Thus the equation has no roots.
Remark: the equation has no roots in the Real numbers, but it has 2 roots in a larger set of numbers to be discussed in the future, the Complex numbers.

Answer:
n= 1/2 ( ) or (0.5)
AND
n= -3/2 ( ) or (-1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
4n^2+4n=3
step1: move 3 to the other side and make the equation equal to zero.
4n^2+4n-3=0
step2: factorise the equation.
(2n-1)(2n+3)=0
step3: make each bracket equal to zero.
2n-1=0
2n+3=0
step4: solve for n values.
<u>1.</u> 2n-1=0
(add 1 for both sides)
2n=1
(divide by 2 for both sides)
n= 1/2 ( ) or (0.5)
<u>2.</u> 2n+3=0
( subtract 3 for both sides)
2n=-3
(divide by 2 for both sides)
n= -3/2 ( ) or (-1.5)
