\frac{105-c^{2}}{2\times 56}=\frac{13}{14}
Add 49 and 56 to get 105.
\frac{105-c^{2}}{112}=\frac{13}{14}
Multiply 2 and 56 to get 112.
\frac{15}{16}-\frac{1}{112}c^{2}=\frac{13}{14}
Divide each term of 105-c^{2} by 112 to get \frac{15}{16}-\frac{1}{112}c^{2}.
-\frac{1}{112}c^{2}=\frac{13}{14}-\frac{15}{16}
Subtract \frac{15}{16} from both sides.
-\frac{1}{112}c^{2}=-\frac{1}{112}
Subtract \frac{15}{16} from \frac{13}{14} to get -\frac{1}{112}.
c^{2}=-\frac{1}{112}\left(-112\right)
Multiply both sides by -112, the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{112}.
c^{2}=1
Multiply -\frac{1}{112} and -112 to get 1.
c=1 c=-1
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
\frac{105-c^{2}}{2\times 56}=\frac{13}{14}
Add 49 and 56 to get 105.
\frac{105-c^{2}}{112}=\frac{13}{14}
Multiply 2 and 56 to get 112.
\frac{15}{16}-\frac{1}{112}c^{2}=\frac{13}{14}
Divide each term of 105-c^{2} by 112 to get \frac{15}{16}-\frac{1}{112}c^{2}.
\frac{15}{16}-\frac{1}{112}c^{2}-\frac{13}{14}=0
Subtract \frac{13}{14} from both sides.
\frac{1}{112}-\frac{1}{112}c^{2}=0
Subtract \frac{13}{14} from \frac{15}{16} to get \frac{1}{112}.
-\frac{1}{112}c^{2}+\frac{1}{112}=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.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{1}{112}\right)\times \frac{1}{112}}}{2\left(-\frac{1}{112}\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -\frac{1}{112} for a, 0 for b, and \frac{1}{112} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{1}{112}\right)\times \frac{1}{112}}}{2\left(-\frac{1}{112}\right)}
Square 0.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{1}{28}\times \frac{1}{112}}}{2\left(-\frac{1}{112}\right)}
Multiply -4 times -\frac{1}{112}.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{1}{3136}}}{2\left(-\frac{1}{112}\right)}
Multiply \frac{1}{28} times \frac{1}{112} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
c=\frac{0±\frac{1}{56}}{2\left(-\frac{1}{112}\right)}
Take the square root of \frac{1}{3136}.
c=\frac{0±\frac{1}{56}}{-\frac{1}{56}}
Multiply 2 times -\frac{1}{112}.
c=-1
Now solve the equation c=\frac{0±\frac{1}{56}}{-\frac{1}{56}} when ± is plus.
c=1
Now solve the equation c=\frac{0±\frac{1}{56}}{-\frac{1}{56}} when ± is minus.
c=-1 c=1
The equation is now solved.
