4x^{2}+x^{2}=2
Add x^{2} to both sides.
5x^{2}=2
Combine 4x^{2} and x^{2} to get 5x^{2}.
x^{2}=\frac{2}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{5} x=-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{5}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
4x^{2}-2=-x^{2}
Subtract 2 from both sides.
4x^{2}-2+x^{2}=0
Add x^{2} to both sides.
5x^{2}-2=0
Combine 4x^{2} and x^{2} to get 5x^{2}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 5\left(-2\right)}}{2\times 5}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 5 for a, 0 for b, and -2 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 5\left(-2\right)}}{2\times 5}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-20\left(-2\right)}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -4 times 5.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{40}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -20 times -2.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{10}}{2\times 5}
Take the square root of 40.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{10}}{10}
Multiply 2 times 5.
x=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{10}}{10} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{10}}{10} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{5} x=-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{5}
The equation is now solved.
