The discussion focuses on solving the square root equation defined as n0=1.5*1015+√((1.5*1015)2+[(0.05)n0]2). The correct solution for n0 is determined to be 3.0075*1015. The key step involves isolating the square root and squaring both sides of the equation, leading to the transformed equation: (n0-(1.5*1015))2=(1.5*1015)2+0.0025n02.

Can someone advice me how to solve this square root equation?
n_{0}=1.5*10^{15}+\sqrt{(1.5*10^{15})^{2}+[(0.05)n_{0}]^{2}}
The answer should be n0=3.0075*1015
I can't figure out how to open up the square root to solve the equation for n0.
Stuck here staring at the equation...
