Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-9 + -2n + 4n2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -9 + -2n + 4n2 = 0 Solving -9 + -2n + 4n2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 4 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '4'. -2.25 + -0.5n + n2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '2.25' to each side of the equation. -2.25 + -0.5n + 2.25 + n2 = 0 + 2.25 Reorder the terms: -2.25 + 2.25 + -0.5n + n2 = 0 + 2.25 Combine like terms: -2.25 + 2.25 = 0.00 0.00 + -0.5n + n2 = 0 + 2.25 -0.5n + n2 = 0 + 2.25 Combine like terms: 0 + 2.25 = 2.25 -0.5n + n2 = 2.25 The n term is -0.5n. Take half its coefficient (-0.25). Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides. Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation. -0.5n + 0.0625 + n2 = 2.25 + 0.0625 Reorder the terms: 0.0625 + -0.5n + n2 = 2.25 + 0.0625 Combine like terms: 2.25 + 0.0625 = 2.3125 0.0625 + -0.5n + n2 = 2.3125 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (n + -0.25)(n + -0.25) = 2.3125 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.520690633 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (n + -0.25) equal to 1.520690633 and -1.520690633.
