4x^{2}-19=0
Subtract 22 from 3 to get -19.
4x^{2}=19
Add 19 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x^{2}=\frac{19}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{\sqrt{19}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{19}}{2}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
4x^{2}-19=0
Subtract 22 from 3 to get -19.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 4\left(-19\right)}}{2\times 4}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 4 for a, 0 for b, and -19 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 4\left(-19\right)}}{2\times 4}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-16\left(-19\right)}}{2\times 4}
Multiply -4 times 4.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{304}}{2\times 4}
Multiply -16 times -19.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{19}}{2\times 4}
Take the square root of 304.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{19}}{8}
Multiply 2 times 4.
x=\frac{\sqrt{19}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{19}}{8} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{19}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{19}}{8} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{19}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{19}}{2}
The equation is now solved.
