5x^{2}=3-33
Subtract 33 from both sides.
5x^{2}=-30
Subtract 33 from 3 to get -30.
x^{2}=\frac{-30}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x^{2}=-6
Divide -30 by 5 to get -6.
x=\sqrt{6}i x=-\sqrt{6}i
The equation is now solved.
5x^{2}+33-3=0
Subtract 3 from both sides.
5x^{2}+30=0
Subtract 3 from 33 to get 30.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 5\times 30}}{2\times 5}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 5 for a, 0 for b, and 30 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 5\times 30}}{2\times 5}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-20\times 30}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -4 times 5.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-600}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -20 times 30.
x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{6}i}{2\times 5}
Take the square root of -600.
x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{6}i}{10}
Multiply 2 times 5.
x=\sqrt{6}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{6}i}{10} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{6}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{6}i}{10} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{6}i x=-\sqrt{6}i
The equation is now solved.
