-x^{2}=\frac{9}{2000}x
Multiply 45 and \frac{1}{10000} to get \frac{9}{2000}.
-x^{2}-\frac{9}{2000}x=0
Subtract \frac{9}{2000}x from both sides.
x=\frac{-\left(-\frac{9}{2000}\right)±\sqrt{\left(-\frac{9}{2000}\right)^{2}}}{2\left(-1\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -1 for a, -\frac{9}{2000} for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-\frac{9}{2000}\right)±\frac{9}{2000}}{2\left(-1\right)}
Take the square root of \left(-\frac{9}{2000}\right)^{2}.
x=\frac{\frac{9}{2000}±\frac{9}{2000}}{2\left(-1\right)}
The opposite of -\frac{9}{2000} is \frac{9}{2000}.
x=\frac{\frac{9}{2000}±\frac{9}{2000}}{-2}
Multiply 2 times -1.
x=\frac{\frac{9}{1000}}{-2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{\frac{9}{2000}±\frac{9}{2000}}{-2} when ± is plus. Add \frac{9}{2000} to \frac{9}{2000} by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=-\frac{9}{2000}
Divide \frac{9}{1000} by -2.
x=\frac{0}{-2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{\frac{9}{2000}±\frac{9}{2000}}{-2} when ± is minus. Subtract \frac{9}{2000} from \frac{9}{2000} by finding a common denominator and subtracting the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=0
Divide 0 by -2.
x=-\frac{9}{2000} x=0
The equation is now solved.
x=-\frac{9}{2000}
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
-\left(0\times 4+x\right)x=45\times 10^{-4}x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
-xx=45\times 10^{-4}x
Multiply 0 and 4 to get 0.
-x^{2}=45\times 10^{-4}x
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
-x^{2}=45\times \frac{1}{10000}x
Calculate 10 to the power of -4 and get \frac{1}{10000}.
-x^{2}=\frac{9}{2000}x
Multiply 45 and \frac{1}{10000} to get \frac{9}{2000}.
-x^{2}-\frac{9}{2000}x=0
Subtract \frac{9}{2000}x from both sides.
\frac{-x^{2}-\frac{9}{2000}x}{-1}=\frac{0}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x^{2}+\left(-\frac{\frac{9}{2000}}{-1}\right)x=\frac{0}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x^{2}+\frac{9}{2000}x=\frac{0}{-1}
Divide -\frac{9}{2000} by -1.
x^{2}+\frac{9}{2000}x=0
Divide 0 by -1.
x^{2}+\frac{9}{2000}x+\left(\frac{9}{4000}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{9}{4000}\right)^{2}
Divide \frac{9}{2000}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get \frac{9}{4000}. Then add the square of \frac{9}{4000} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}+\frac{9}{2000}x+\frac{81}{16000000}=\frac{81}{16000000}
Square \frac{9}{4000} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
\left(x+\frac{9}{4000}\right)^{2}=\frac{81}{16000000}
Factor x^{2}+\frac{9}{2000}x+\frac{81}{16000000}. 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+\frac{9}{4000}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{81}{16000000}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x+\frac{9}{4000}=\frac{9}{4000} x+\frac{9}{4000}=-\frac{9}{4000}
Simplify.
x=0 x=-\frac{9}{2000}
Subtract \frac{9}{4000} from both sides of the equation.
x=-\frac{9}{2000}
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
