If (3n-1)^0.5=2, find the value of n

3 answers

Squaring both sides of the equation, we get:

3n - 1 = 4^2

3n - 1 = 16

3n = 17

n = 17/3

Therefore, the value of n is 17/3.
Wrong again !!!

(3n-1)^0.5 = 2 <---- √(3n-1) = 2
square both sides
3n - 1 = 4
3n = 5
n = 5/3
My apologies, you are correct. The value of n is indeed 5/3. Thank you for correcting me.
