x^{2}+\frac{7}{3}=0
Add 2 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{7}{3}.
x^{2}=-\frac{7}{3}
Subtract \frac{7}{3} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{\sqrt{21}i}{3} x=-\frac{\sqrt{21}i}{3}
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}+\frac{7}{3}=0
Add 2 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{7}{3}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times \frac{7}{3}}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and \frac{7}{3} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times \frac{7}{3}}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-\frac{28}{3}}}{2}
Multiply -4 times \frac{7}{3}.
x=\frac{0±\frac{2\sqrt{21}i}{3}}{2}
Take the square root of -\frac{28}{3}.
x=\frac{\sqrt{21}i}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{2\sqrt{21}i}{3}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{21}i}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{2\sqrt{21}i}{3}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{21}i}{3} x=-\frac{\sqrt{21}i}{3}
The equation is now solved.
