m=\frac{1±1}{48050}
Multiply 2 times 24025.
m=\frac{2}{48050}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{1±1}{48050} when ± is plus. Add 1 to 1.
m=\frac{1}{24025}
Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{48050} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
m=\frac{0}{48050}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{1±1}{48050} when ± is minus. Subtract 1 from 1.
m=0
Divide 0 by 48050.
m=\frac{1}{24025} m=0
The equation is now solved.
155^{2}m^{2}=m
Expand \left(155m\right)^{2}.
24025m^{2}=m
Calculate 155 to the power of 2 and get 24025.
24025m^{2}-m=0
Subtract m from both sides.
\frac{24025m^{2}-m}{24025}=\frac{0}{24025}
Divide both sides by 24025.
m^{2}-\frac{1}{24025}m=\frac{0}{24025}
Dividing by 24025 undoes the multiplication by 24025.
m^{2}-\frac{1}{24025}m=0
Divide 0 by 24025.
m^{2}-\frac{1}{24025}m+\left(-\frac{1}{48050}\right)^{2}=\left(-\frac{1}{48050}\right)^{2}
Divide -\frac{1}{24025}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{1}{48050}. Then add the square of -\frac{1}{48050} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
m^{2}-\frac{1}{24025}m+\frac{1}{2308802500}=\frac{1}{2308802500}
Square -\frac{1}{48050} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
\left(m-\frac{1}{48050}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{2308802500}
Factor m^{2}-\frac{1}{24025}m+\frac{1}{2308802500}. 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(m-\frac{1}{48050}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2308802500}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
m-\frac{1}{48050}=\frac{1}{48050} m-\frac{1}{48050}=-\frac{1}{48050}
Simplify.
m=\frac{1}{24025} m=0
Add \frac{1}{48050} to both sides of the equation.
