0=x^{2}+14-3
Divide both sides by 2. Zero divided by any non-zero number gives zero.
0=x^{2}+11
Subtract 3 from 14 to get 11.
x^{2}+11=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}=-11
Subtract 11 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\sqrt{11}i x=-\sqrt{11}i
The equation is now solved.
0=x^{2}+14-3
Divide both sides by 2. Zero divided by any non-zero number gives zero.
0=x^{2}+11
Subtract 3 from 14 to get 11.
x^{2}+11=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 11}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 11 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 11}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-44}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 11.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{11}i}{2}
Take the square root of -44.
x=\sqrt{11}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{11}i}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{11}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{11}i}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{11}i x=-\sqrt{11}i
The equation is now solved.
