(-1/2)n+5=-19

Solution for (-1/2)n+5=-19 equation:

(-1/2)n+5=-19

We move all terms to the left:

(-1/2)n+5-(-19)=0


Domain of the equation: 2)n!=0

n!=0/1

n!=0

n∈R


We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(-1/2)n+24=0

We multiply parentheses

-1n^2+24=0

a = -1; b = 0; c = +24;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·(-1)·24
Δ = 96
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{96}=\sqrt{16*6}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{6}=4\sqrt{6}$
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-4\sqrt{6}}{2*-1}=\frac{0-4\sqrt{6}}{-2}
=-\frac{4\sqrt{6}}{-2}
=-\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{-1}
$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+4\sqrt{6}}{2*-1}=\frac{0+4\sqrt{6}}{-2}
=\frac{4\sqrt{6}}{-2}
=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{-1}
