3x^{2}+3=0
Subtract 2 from 5 to get 3.
3x^{2}=-3
Subtract 3 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x^{2}=\frac{-3}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x^{2}=-1
Divide -3 by 3 to get -1.
x=i x=-i
The equation is now solved.
3x^{2}+3=0
Subtract 2 from 5 to get 3.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 3\times 3}}{2\times 3}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 3 for a, 0 for b, and 3 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 3\times 3}}{2\times 3}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-12\times 3}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -4 times 3.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-36}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -12 times 3.
x=\frac{0±6i}{2\times 3}
Take the square root of -36.
x=\frac{0±6i}{6}
Multiply 2 times 3.
x=i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6i}{6} when ± is plus.
x=-i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6i}{6} when ± is minus.
x=i x=-i
The equation is now solved.
