14\left(1-7x^{2}\right)=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(7x^{2}+1\right)^{2}.
14-98x^{2}=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 14 by 1-7x^{2}.
-98x^{2}=-14
Subtract 14 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x^{2}=\frac{-14}{-98}
Divide both sides by -98.
x^{2}=\frac{1}{7}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-14}{-98} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -14.
x=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7} x=-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
14\left(1-7x^{2}\right)=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(7x^{2}+1\right)^{2}.
14-98x^{2}=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 14 by 1-7x^{2}.
-98x^{2}+14=0
Quadratic equations like this one, with an x^{2} term but no x term, can still be solved using the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, once they are put in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-98\right)\times 14}}{2\left(-98\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -98 for a, 0 for b, and 14 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-98\right)\times 14}}{2\left(-98\right)}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{392\times 14}}{2\left(-98\right)}
Multiply -4 times -98.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{5488}}{2\left(-98\right)}
Multiply 392 times 14.
x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{7}}{2\left(-98\right)}
Take the square root of 5488.
x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{7}}{-196}
Multiply 2 times -98.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{7}}{-196} when ± is plus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{7}}{-196} when ± is minus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7} x=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{7}
The equation is now solved.
