-22x^{2}-1\times 5=1
Combine 33x^{2} and -55x^{2} to get -22x^{2}.
-22x^{2}-5=1
Multiply 1 and 5 to get 5.
-22x^{2}=1+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-22x^{2}=6
Add 1 and 5 to get 6.
x^{2}=\frac{6}{-22}
Divide both sides by -22.
x^{2}=-\frac{3}{11}
Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{-22} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=\frac{\sqrt{33}i}{11} x=-\frac{\sqrt{33}i}{11}
The equation is now solved.
-22x^{2}-1\times 5=1
Combine 33x^{2} and -55x^{2} to get -22x^{2}.
-22x^{2}-5=1
Multiply 1 and 5 to get 5.
-22x^{2}-5-1=0
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-22x^{2}-6=0
Subtract 1 from -5 to get -6.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-22\right)\left(-6\right)}}{2\left(-22\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -22 for a, 0 for b, and -6 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-22\right)\left(-6\right)}}{2\left(-22\right)}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{88\left(-6\right)}}{2\left(-22\right)}
Multiply -4 times -22.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-528}}{2\left(-22\right)}
Multiply 88 times -6.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{33}i}{2\left(-22\right)}
Take the square root of -528.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{33}i}{-44}
Multiply 2 times -22.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{33}i}{11}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{33}i}{-44} when ± is plus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{33}i}{11}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{33}i}{-44} when ± is minus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{33}i}{11} x=\frac{\sqrt{33}i}{11}
The equation is now solved.
