d^{2}+55=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.
d=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 55}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 55 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
d=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 55}}{2}
Square 0.
d=\frac{0±\sqrt{-220}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 55.
d=\frac{0±2\sqrt{55}i}{2}
Take the square root of -220.
d=\sqrt{55}i
Now solve the equation d=\frac{0±2\sqrt{55}i}{2} when ± is plus.
d=-\sqrt{55}i
Now solve the equation d=\frac{0±2\sqrt{55}i}{2} when ± is minus.
d=\sqrt{55}i d=-\sqrt{55}i
The equation is now solved.
