22x^{2}=9.61
Calculate 3.1 to the power of 2 and get 9.61.
x^{2}=\frac{9.61}{22}
Divide both sides by 22.
x^{2}=\frac{961}{2200}
Expand \frac{9.61}{22} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x=\frac{31\sqrt{22}}{220} x=-\frac{31\sqrt{22}}{220}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
22x^{2}=9.61
Calculate 3.1 to the power of 2 and get 9.61.
22x^{2}-9.61=0
Subtract 9.61 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 22\left(-9.61\right)}}{2\times 22}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 22 for a, 0 for b, and -9.61 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 22\left(-9.61\right)}}{2\times 22}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-88\left(-9.61\right)}}{2\times 22}
Multiply -4 times 22.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{845.68}}{2\times 22}
Multiply -88 times -9.61.
x=\frac{0±\frac{31\sqrt{22}}{5}}{2\times 22}
Take the square root of 845.68.
x=\frac{0±\frac{31\sqrt{22}}{5}}{44}
Multiply 2 times 22.
x=\frac{31\sqrt{22}}{220}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{31\sqrt{22}}{5}}{44} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{31\sqrt{22}}{220}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{31\sqrt{22}}{5}}{44} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{31\sqrt{22}}{220} x=-\frac{31\sqrt{22}}{220}
The equation is now solved.
