10x^{2}=9
Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.
x^{2}=\frac{9}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10} x=-\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
10x^{2}=9
Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.
10x^{2}-9=0
Subtract 9 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 10\left(-9\right)}}{2\times 10}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 10 for a, 0 for b, and -9 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 10\left(-9\right)}}{2\times 10}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-40\left(-9\right)}}{2\times 10}
Multiply -4 times 10.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{360}}{2\times 10}
Multiply -40 times -9.
x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{10}}{2\times 10}
Take the square root of 360.
x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{10}}{20}
Multiply 2 times 10.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{10}}{20} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±6\sqrt{10}}{20} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10} x=-\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}
The equation is now solved.
