n(n-1)(n+1)=990

Solution for n(n-1)(n+1)=990 equation:

n(n-1)(n+1)=990

We move all terms to the left:

n(n-1)(n+1)-(990)=0

We use the square of the difference formula

n^2-1-990=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

n^2-991=0

a = 1; b = 0; c = -991;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·1·(-991)
Δ = 3964
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{3964}=\sqrt{4*991}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{991}=2\sqrt{991}$
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-2\sqrt{991}}{2*1}=\frac{0-2\sqrt{991}}{2}
=-\frac{2\sqrt{991}}{2}
=-\sqrt{991}
$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+2\sqrt{991}}{2*1}=\frac{0+2\sqrt{991}}{2}
=\frac{2\sqrt{991}}{2}
=\sqrt{991}
