\pi x^{2}+3x+0=0
Multiply 0 and 1415926 to get 0.
\pi x^{2}+3x=0
Anything plus zero gives itself.
x\left(\pi x+3\right)=0
Factor out x.
x=0 x=-\frac{3}{\pi }
To find equation solutions, solve x=0 and \pi x+3=0.
\pi x^{2}+3x+0=0
Multiply 0 and 1415926 to get 0.
\pi x^{2}+3x=0
Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{-3±\sqrt{3^{2}}}{2\pi }
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute \pi for a, 3 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-3±3}{2\pi }
Take the square root of 3^{2}.
x=\frac{0}{2\pi }
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-3±3}{2\pi } when ± is plus. Add -3 to 3.
x=0
Divide 0 by 2\pi .
x=-\frac{6}{2\pi }
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-3±3}{2\pi } when ± is minus. Subtract 3 from -3.
x=-\frac{3}{\pi }
Divide -6 by 2\pi .
x=0 x=-\frac{3}{\pi }
The equation is now solved.
\pi x^{2}+3x+0=0
Multiply 0 and 1415926 to get 0.
\pi x^{2}+3x=0
Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{\pi x^{2}+3x}{\pi }=\frac{0}{\pi }
Divide both sides by \pi .
x^{2}+\frac{3}{\pi }x=\frac{0}{\pi }
Dividing by \pi undoes the multiplication by \pi .
x^{2}+\frac{3}{\pi }x=0
Divide 0 by \pi .
x^{2}+\frac{3}{\pi }x+\left(\frac{3}{2\pi }\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{3}{2\pi }\right)^{2}
Divide \frac{3}{\pi }, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get \frac{3}{2\pi }. Then add the square of \frac{3}{2\pi } to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}+\frac{3}{\pi }x+\frac{9}{4\pi ^{2}}=\frac{9}{4\pi ^{2}}
Square \frac{3}{2\pi }.
\left(x+\frac{3}{2\pi }\right)^{2}=\frac{9}{4\pi ^{2}}
Factor x^{2}+\frac{3}{\pi }x+\frac{9}{4\pi ^{2}}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x+\frac{3}{2\pi }\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{4\pi ^{2}}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x+\frac{3}{2\pi }=\frac{3}{2\pi } x+\frac{3}{2\pi }=-\frac{3}{2\pi }
Simplify.
x=0 x=-\frac{3}{\pi }
Subtract \frac{3}{2\pi } from both sides of the equation.
