2x^{2}-451=0
Subtract 412 from -39 to get -451.
2x^{2}=451
Add 451 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x^{2}=\frac{451}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{\sqrt{902}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{902}}{2}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
2x^{2}-451=0
Subtract 412 from -39 to get -451.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 2\left(-451\right)}}{2\times 2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 2 for a, 0 for b, and -451 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 2\left(-451\right)}}{2\times 2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-8\left(-451\right)}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -4 times 2.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{3608}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -8 times -451.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{902}}{2\times 2}
Take the square root of 3608.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{902}}{4}
Multiply 2 times 2.
x=\frac{\sqrt{902}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{902}}{4} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{902}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{902}}{4} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{902}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{902}}{2}
The equation is now solved.
