\frac{100}{1}=\frac{D^{2}}{1}+\frac{D^{2}}{1}
Calculate 10 to the power of 2 and get 100.
100=\frac{D^{2}}{1}+\frac{D^{2}}{1}
Anything divided by one gives itself.
100=D^{2}+\frac{D^{2}}{1}
Anything divided by one gives itself.
100=D^{2}+D^{2}
Anything divided by one gives itself.
100=2D^{2}
Combine D^{2} and D^{2} to get 2D^{2}.
2D^{2}=100
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
D^{2}=\frac{100}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
D^{2}=50
Divide 100 by 2 to get 50.
D=5\sqrt{2} D=-5\sqrt{2}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
\frac{100}{1}=\frac{D^{2}}{1}+\frac{D^{2}}{1}
Calculate 10 to the power of 2 and get 100.
100=\frac{D^{2}}{1}+\frac{D^{2}}{1}
Anything divided by one gives itself.
100=D^{2}+\frac{D^{2}}{1}
Anything divided by one gives itself.
100=D^{2}+D^{2}
Anything divided by one gives itself.
100=2D^{2}
Combine D^{2} and D^{2} to get 2D^{2}.
2D^{2}=100
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2D^{2}-100=0
Subtract 100 from both sides.
D=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 2\left(-100\right)}}{2\times 2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 2 for a, 0 for b, and -100 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
D=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 2\left(-100\right)}}{2\times 2}
Square 0.
D=\frac{0±\sqrt{-8\left(-100\right)}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -4 times 2.
D=\frac{0±\sqrt{800}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -8 times -100.
D=\frac{0±20\sqrt{2}}{2\times 2}
Take the square root of 800.
D=\frac{0±20\sqrt{2}}{4}
Multiply 2 times 2.
D=5\sqrt{2}
Now solve the equation D=\frac{0±20\sqrt{2}}{4} when ± is plus.
D=-5\sqrt{2}
Now solve the equation D=\frac{0±20\sqrt{2}}{4} when ± is minus.
D=5\sqrt{2} D=-5\sqrt{2}
The equation is now solved.
