x^{2}-1199=0
Subtract 1000 from -199 to get -1199.
x^{2}=1199
Add 1199 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\sqrt{1199} x=-\sqrt{1199}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}-1199=0
Subtract 1000 from -199 to get -1199.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-1199\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -1199 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-1199\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{4796}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -1199.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{1199}}{2}
Take the square root of 4796.
x=\sqrt{1199}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{1199}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{1199}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{1199}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{1199} x=-\sqrt{1199}
The equation is now solved.
