11x^{2}=-126
Subtract 126 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x^{2}=-\frac{126}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{154}i}{11} x=-\frac{3\sqrt{154}i}{11}
The equation is now solved.
11x^{2}+126=0
Quadratic equations like this one, with an x^{2} term but no x term, can still be solved using the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, once they are put in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 11\times 126}}{2\times 11}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 11 for a, 0 for b, and 126 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 11\times 126}}{2\times 11}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-44\times 126}}{2\times 11}
Multiply -4 times 11.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-5544}}{2\times 11}
Multiply -44 times 126.
x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{154}i}{2\times 11}
Take the square root of -5544.
x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{154}i}{22}
Multiply 2 times 11.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{154}i}{11}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{154}i}{22} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{3\sqrt{154}i}{11}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{154}i}{22} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{154}i}{11} x=-\frac{3\sqrt{154}i}{11}
The equation is now solved.
