\gamma ^{2}=4
Cancel out \pi on both sides.
\gamma ^{2}-4=0
Subtract 4 from both sides.
\left(\gamma -2\right)\left(\gamma +2\right)=0
Consider \gamma ^{2}-4. Rewrite \gamma ^{2}-4 as \gamma ^{2}-2^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
\gamma =2 \gamma =-2
To find equation solutions, solve \gamma -2=0 and \gamma +2=0.
\gamma ^{2}=4
Cancel out \pi on both sides.
\gamma =2 \gamma =-2
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
\gamma ^{2}=4
Cancel out \pi on both sides.
\gamma ^{2}-4=0
Subtract 4 from both sides.
\gamma =\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-4\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -4 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
\gamma =\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-4\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
\gamma =\frac{0±\sqrt{16}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -4.
\gamma =\frac{0±4}{2}
Take the square root of 16.
\gamma =2
Now solve the equation \gamma =\frac{0±4}{2} when ± is plus. Divide 4 by 2.
\gamma =-2
Now solve the equation \gamma =\frac{0±4}{2} when ± is minus. Divide -4 by 2.
\gamma =2 \gamma =-2
The equation is now solved.
