501x^{2}+10=0
Add 1 and 500 to get 501.
501x^{2}=-10
Subtract 10 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x^{2}=-\frac{10}{501}
Divide both sides by 501.
x=\frac{\sqrt{5010}i}{501} x=-\frac{\sqrt{5010}i}{501}
The equation is now solved.
501x^{2}+10=0
Add 1 and 500 to get 501.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 501\times 10}}{2\times 501}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 501 for a, 0 for b, and 10 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 501\times 10}}{2\times 501}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-2004\times 10}}{2\times 501}
Multiply -4 times 501.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-20040}}{2\times 501}
Multiply -2004 times 10.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{5010}i}{2\times 501}
Take the square root of -20040.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{5010}i}{1002}
Multiply 2 times 501.
x=\frac{\sqrt{5010}i}{501}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{5010}i}{1002} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{5010}i}{501}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{5010}i}{1002} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{5010}i}{501} x=-\frac{\sqrt{5010}i}{501}
The equation is now solved.
