27n^{2}+69=0
Subtract 3 from 72 to get 69.
27n^{2}=-69
Subtract 69 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
n^{2}=\frac{-69}{27}
Divide both sides by 27.
n^{2}=-\frac{23}{9}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-69}{27} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
n=\frac{\sqrt{23}i}{3} n=-\frac{\sqrt{23}i}{3}
The equation is now solved.
27n^{2}+69=0
Subtract 3 from 72 to get 69.
n=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 27\times 69}}{2\times 27}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 27 for a, 0 for b, and 69 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
n=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 27\times 69}}{2\times 27}
Square 0.
n=\frac{0±\sqrt{-108\times 69}}{2\times 27}
Multiply -4 times 27.
n=\frac{0±\sqrt{-7452}}{2\times 27}
Multiply -108 times 69.
n=\frac{0±18\sqrt{23}i}{2\times 27}
Take the square root of -7452.
n=\frac{0±18\sqrt{23}i}{54}
Multiply 2 times 27.
n=\frac{\sqrt{23}i}{3}
Now solve the equation n=\frac{0±18\sqrt{23}i}{54} when ± is plus.
n=-\frac{\sqrt{23}i}{3}
Now solve the equation n=\frac{0±18\sqrt{23}i}{54} when ± is minus.
n=\frac{\sqrt{23}i}{3} n=-\frac{\sqrt{23}i}{3}
The equation is now solved.
