\left(x-0\right)^{2}+7^{2}=4
Add 4 and 3 to get 7.
\left(x-0\right)^{2}+49=4
Calculate 7 to the power of 2 and get 49.
\left(x-0\right)^{2}=4-49
Subtract 49 from both sides.
\left(x-0\right)^{2}=-45
Subtract 49 from 4 to get -45.
x^{2}=-45
Reorder the terms.
x=3\sqrt{5}i x=-3\sqrt{5}i
The equation is now solved.
\left(x-0\right)^{2}+7^{2}=4
Add 4 and 3 to get 7.
\left(x-0\right)^{2}+49=4
Calculate 7 to the power of 2 and get 49.
\left(x-0\right)^{2}+49-4=0
Subtract 4 from both sides.
\left(x-0\right)^{2}+45=0
Subtract 4 from 49 to get 45.
x^{2}+45=0
Reorder the terms.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 45}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 45 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 45}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-180}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 45.
x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{5}i}{2}
Take the square root of -180.
x=3\sqrt{5}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{5}i}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-3\sqrt{5}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{5}i}{2} when ± is minus.
x=3\sqrt{5}i x=-3\sqrt{5}i
The equation is now solved.
