4x^{2}\times 3=4800
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
12x^{2}=4800
Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.
x^{2}=\frac{4800}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
x^{2}=400
Divide 4800 by 12 to get 400.
x=20 x=-20
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
4x^{2}\times 3=4800
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
12x^{2}=4800
Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.
12x^{2}-4800=0
Subtract 4800 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 12\left(-4800\right)}}{2\times 12}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 12 for a, 0 for b, and -4800 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 12\left(-4800\right)}}{2\times 12}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-48\left(-4800\right)}}{2\times 12}
Multiply -4 times 12.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{230400}}{2\times 12}
Multiply -48 times -4800.
x=\frac{0±480}{2\times 12}
Take the square root of 230400.
x=\frac{0±480}{24}
Multiply 2 times 12.
x=20
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±480}{24} when ± is plus. Divide 480 by 24.
x=-20
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±480}{24} when ± is minus. Divide -480 by 24.
x=20 x=-20
The equation is now solved.
