b^{2}-4ac=1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-4ac=1-b^{2}
Subtract b^{2} from both sides.
\left(-4c\right)a=1-b^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-4c\right)a}{-4c}=\frac{1-b^{2}}{-4c}
Divide both sides by -4c.
a=\frac{1-b^{2}}{-4c}
Dividing by -4c undoes the multiplication by -4c.
a=-\frac{1-b^{2}}{4c}
Divide -b^{2}+1 by -4c.
