x\left(x+25\times 4500\right)=0
Factor out x.
x=0 x=-112500
To find equation solutions, solve x=0 and x+112500=0.
x^{2}+112500x=0
Multiply 25 and 4500 to get 112500.
x=\frac{-112500±\sqrt{112500^{2}}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 112500 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-112500±112500}{2}
Take the square root of 112500^{2}.
x=\frac{0}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-112500±112500}{2} when ± is plus. Add -112500 to 112500.
x=0
Divide 0 by 2.
x=-\frac{225000}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{-112500±112500}{2} when ± is minus. Subtract 112500 from -112500.
x=-112500
Divide -225000 by 2.
x=0 x=-112500
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}+112500x=0
Multiply 25 and 4500 to get 112500.
x^{2}+112500x+56250^{2}=56250^{2}
Divide 112500, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get 56250. Then add the square of 56250 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}+112500x+3164062500=3164062500
Square 56250.
\left(x+56250\right)^{2}=3164062500
Factor x^{2}+112500x+3164062500. 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+56250\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{3164062500}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x+56250=56250 x+56250=-56250
Simplify.
x=0 x=-112500
Subtract 56250 from both sides of the equation.
