x^{2}=8-136
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
x^{2}=-128
Subtract 136 from 8 to get -128.
x=8\sqrt{2}i x=-8\sqrt{2}i
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}=8-136
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
x^{2}=-128
Subtract 136 from 8 to get -128.
x^{2}+128=0
Add 128 to both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 128}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 128 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 128}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-512}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 128.
x=\frac{0±16\sqrt{2}i}{2}
Take the square root of -512.
x=8\sqrt{2}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±16\sqrt{2}i}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-8\sqrt{2}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±16\sqrt{2}i}{2} when ± is minus.
x=8\sqrt{2}i x=-8\sqrt{2}i
The equation is now solved.
