10x^{2}+25=\left(5\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}
Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.
10x^{2}+25=5^{2}\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}
Expand \left(5\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}.
10x^{2}+25=25\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}
Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.
10x^{2}+25=25\times 2
The square of \sqrt{2} is 2.
10x^{2}+25=50
Multiply 25 and 2 to get 50.
10x^{2}=50-25
Subtract 25 from both sides.
10x^{2}=25
Subtract 25 from 50 to get 25.
x^{2}=\frac{25}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
x^{2}=\frac{5}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
x=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
10x^{2}+25=\left(5\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}
Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.
10x^{2}+25=5^{2}\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}
Expand \left(5\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}.
10x^{2}+25=25\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}
Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.
10x^{2}+25=25\times 2
The square of \sqrt{2} is 2.
10x^{2}+25=50
Multiply 25 and 2 to get 50.
10x^{2}+25-50=0
Subtract 50 from both sides.
10x^{2}-25=0
Subtract 50 from 25 to get -25.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 10\left(-25\right)}}{2\times 10}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 10 for a, 0 for b, and -25 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 10\left(-25\right)}}{2\times 10}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-40\left(-25\right)}}{2\times 10}
Multiply -4 times 10.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{1000}}{2\times 10}
Multiply -40 times -25.
x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{10}}{2\times 10}
Take the square root of 1000.
x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{10}}{20}
Multiply 2 times 10.
x=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{10}}{20} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{10}}{20} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}
The equation is now solved.
