n^{2}-\frac{16}{25}=0
Subtract \frac{16}{25} from both sides.
n=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{16}{25}\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{16}{25} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
n=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{16}{25}\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
n=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{64}{25}}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -\frac{16}{25}.
n=\frac{0±\frac{8}{5}}{2}
Take the square root of \frac{64}{25}.
n=\frac{4}{5}
Now solve the equation n=\frac{0±\frac{8}{5}}{2} when ± is plus.
n=-\frac{4}{5}
Now solve the equation n=\frac{0±\frac{8}{5}}{2} when ± is minus.
n=\frac{4}{5} n=-\frac{4}{5}
The equation is now solved.
