Answer:
n=1+√47 or n=1−√47
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
n2−2n−48=−2
Step 1: Subtract -2 from both sides.
n2−2n−48−(−2)=−2−(−2)
n2−2n−46=0
For this equation: a=1, b=-2, c=-46
1n2+−2n+−46=0
Step 2: Use quadratic formula with a=1, b=-2, c=-46.
n=
−b±√b2−4ac
2a
n=
−(−2)±√(−2)2−4(1)(−46)
2(1)
n=
2±√188
2
n=1+√47 or n=1−√47
