Domain of the equation: 2n-8)!=0

n∈R


We multiply parentheses

3n-(1/2n-8)-12=0

We get rid of parentheses

3n-1/2n+8-12=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


3n*2n+8*2n-12*2n-1=0

Wy multiply elements

6n^2+16n-24n-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

6n^2-8n-1=0

a = 6; b = -8; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·6·(-1)
Δ = 88
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{88}=\sqrt{4*22}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{22}=2\sqrt{22}$
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-2\sqrt{22}}{2*6}=\frac{8-2\sqrt{22}}{12}
$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+2\sqrt{22}}{2*6}=\frac{8+2\sqrt{22}}{12}
