x=\sqrt{\pi } x=-\sqrt{\pi }
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=\pi
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.
x^{2}-\pi =\pi -\pi
Subtract \pi from both sides of the equation.
x^{2}-\pi =0
Subtracting \pi from itself leaves 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\pi \right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\pi for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\pi \right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{4\pi }}{2}
Multiply -4 times -\pi .
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{\pi }}{2}
Take the square root of 4\pi .
x=\sqrt{\pi }
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{\pi }}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{\pi }
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{\pi }}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{\pi } x=-\sqrt{\pi }
The equation is now solved.
