2x^{2}=40000000
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}=\frac{40000000}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x^{2}=20000000
Divide 40000000 by 2 to get 20000000.
x=2000\sqrt{5} x=-2000\sqrt{5}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
2x^{2}=40000000
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
2x^{2}-40000000=0
Subtract 40000000 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 2\left(-40000000\right)}}{2\times 2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 2 for a, 0 for b, and -40000000 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 2\left(-40000000\right)}}{2\times 2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-8\left(-40000000\right)}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -4 times 2.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{320000000}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -8 times -40000000.
x=\frac{0±8000\sqrt{5}}{2\times 2}
Take the square root of 320000000.
x=\frac{0±8000\sqrt{5}}{4}
Multiply 2 times 2.
x=2000\sqrt{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±8000\sqrt{5}}{4} when ± is plus.
x=-2000\sqrt{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±8000\sqrt{5}}{4} when ± is minus.
x=2000\sqrt{5} x=-2000\sqrt{5}
The equation is now solved.
