x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 2\left(-32\right)}}{2\times 2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 2 for a, 0 for b, and -32 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 2\left(-32\right)}}{2\times 2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-8\left(-32\right)}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -4 times 2.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{256}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -8 times -32.
x=\frac{0±16}{2\times 2}
Take the square root of 256.
x=\frac{0±16}{4}
Multiply 2 times 2.
x=4
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±16}{4} when ± is plus. Divide 16 by 4.
x=-4
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±16}{4} when ± is minus. Divide -16 by 4.
x=4 x=-4
The equation is now solved.
