Solution for 5n^2+8n+4=0 equation:


Simplifying
5n2 + 8n + 4 = 0

Reorder the terms:
4 + 8n + 5n2 = 0

Solving
4 + 8n + 5n2 = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
0.8 + 1.6n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation.
0.8 + 1.6n + -0.8 + n2 = 0 + -0.8

Reorder the terms:
0.8 + -0.8 + 1.6n + n2 = 0 + -0.8

Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.6n + n2 = 0 + -0.8
1.6n + n2 = 0 + -0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.8 = -0.8
1.6n + n2 = -0.8

The n term is 1.6n.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6n + 0.64 + n2 = -0.8 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6n + n2 = -0.8 + 0.64

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.64 = -0.16
0.64 + 1.6n + n2 = -0.16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + 0.8)(n + 0.8) = -0.16

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
