Solve n^2/100=1

$$\frac{ { n }^{ 2 } }{ 100 } = 1$$

Solve for n

$$n=10$$

$$n=-10$$

Steps Using Difference of Squares

Multiply both sides by 100.

$$n^{2}=100$$

Subtract 100 from both sides.

$$n^{2}-100=0$$

Consider n^{2}-100. Rewrite n^{2}-100 as n^{2}-10^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).

$$\left(n-10\right)\left(n+10\right)=0$$

To find equation solutions, solve n-10=0 and n+10=0.

$$n=10 n=-10$$

Steps by Finding Square Root

Multiply both sides by 100.

$$n^{2}=100$$

Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

$$n=10 n=-10$$

Steps Using the Quadratic Formula

Multiply both sides by 100.

$$n^{2}=100$$

Subtract 100 from both sides.

$$n^{2}-100=0$$

This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -100 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.

$$n=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-100\right)}}{2}$$

Square 0.

$$n=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-100\right)}}{2}$$

Multiply -4 times -100.

$$n=\frac{0±\sqrt{400}}{2}$$

Take the square root of 400.

$$n=\frac{0±20}{2}$$

Now solve the equation n=\frac{0±20}{2} when ± is plus. Divide 20 by 2.

$$n=10$$

Now solve the equation n=\frac{0±20}{2} when ± is minus. Divide -20 by 2.

$$n=-10$$

The equation is now solved.

$$n=10 n=-10$$
