120000=123424\times \left(\frac{x}{1000}\right)^{2}
Multiply 112 and 1102 to get 123424.
120000=123424\times \frac{x^{2}}{1000^{2}}
To raise \frac{x}{1000} to a power, raise both numerator and denominator to the power and then divide.
120000=\frac{123424x^{2}}{1000^{2}}
Express 123424\times \frac{x^{2}}{1000^{2}} as a single fraction.
120000=\frac{123424x^{2}}{1000000}
Calculate 1000 to the power of 2 and get 1000000.
120000=\frac{3857}{31250}x^{2}
Divide 123424x^{2} by 1000000 to get \frac{3857}{31250}x^{2}.
\frac{3857}{31250}x^{2}=120000
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}=120000\times \frac{31250}{3857}
Multiply both sides by \frac{31250}{3857}, the reciprocal of \frac{3857}{31250}.
x^{2}=\frac{3750000000}{3857}
Multiply 120000 and \frac{31250}{3857} to get \frac{3750000000}{3857}.
x=\frac{25000\sqrt{23142}}{3857} x=-\frac{25000\sqrt{23142}}{3857}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
120000=123424\times \left(\frac{x}{1000}\right)^{2}
Multiply 112 and 1102 to get 123424.
120000=123424\times \frac{x^{2}}{1000^{2}}
To raise \frac{x}{1000} to a power, raise both numerator and denominator to the power and then divide.
120000=\frac{123424x^{2}}{1000^{2}}
Express 123424\times \frac{x^{2}}{1000^{2}} as a single fraction.
120000=\frac{123424x^{2}}{1000000}
Calculate 1000 to the power of 2 and get 1000000.
120000=\frac{3857}{31250}x^{2}
Divide 123424x^{2} by 1000000 to get \frac{3857}{31250}x^{2}.
\frac{3857}{31250}x^{2}=120000
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{3857}{31250}x^{2}-120000=0
Subtract 120000 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times \frac{3857}{31250}\left(-120000\right)}}{2\times \frac{3857}{31250}}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute \frac{3857}{31250} for a, 0 for b, and -120000 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times \frac{3857}{31250}\left(-120000\right)}}{2\times \frac{3857}{31250}}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-\frac{7714}{15625}\left(-120000\right)}}{2\times \frac{3857}{31250}}
Multiply -4 times \frac{3857}{31250}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{1481088}{25}}}{2\times \frac{3857}{31250}}
Multiply -\frac{7714}{15625} times -120000.
x=\frac{0±\frac{8\sqrt{23142}}{5}}{2\times \frac{3857}{31250}}
Take the square root of \frac{1481088}{25}.
x=\frac{0±\frac{8\sqrt{23142}}{5}}{\frac{3857}{15625}}
Multiply 2 times \frac{3857}{31250}.
x=\frac{25000\sqrt{23142}}{3857}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{8\sqrt{23142}}{5}}{\frac{3857}{15625}} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{25000\sqrt{23142}}{3857}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{8\sqrt{23142}}{5}}{\frac{3857}{15625}} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{25000\sqrt{23142}}{3857} x=-\frac{25000\sqrt{23142}}{3857}
The equation is now solved.
