13x^{2}=17689
Calculate 133 to the power of 2 and get 17689.
x^{2}=\frac{17689}{13}
Divide both sides by 13.
x=\frac{133\sqrt{13}}{13} x=-\frac{133\sqrt{13}}{13}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
13x^{2}=17689
Calculate 133 to the power of 2 and get 17689.
13x^{2}-17689=0
Subtract 17689 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 13\left(-17689\right)}}{2\times 13}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 13 for a, 0 for b, and -17689 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 13\left(-17689\right)}}{2\times 13}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-52\left(-17689\right)}}{2\times 13}
Multiply -4 times 13.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{919828}}{2\times 13}
Multiply -52 times -17689.
x=\frac{0±266\sqrt{13}}{2\times 13}
Take the square root of 919828.
x=\frac{0±266\sqrt{13}}{26}
Multiply 2 times 13.
x=\frac{133\sqrt{13}}{13}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±266\sqrt{13}}{26} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{133\sqrt{13}}{13}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±266\sqrt{13}}{26} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{133\sqrt{13}}{13} x=-\frac{133\sqrt{13}}{13}
The equation is now solved.
