- step 1
- step 2
- step 3
- step 4
- step 5
- determine #a#, #b# and #c#
- calculate discriminant
- reduce to #0#
- determine number of solutions
- determine solutions
- #4\cdot n^2+6\cdot n-4=0#
- #D \gt 0#, hence, there are #2# solutions
- #n=-2 \lor n={{1}\over{2}}#
- #D=100#
- #a=4#, #b=6# and #c=-4#
