x^{2}=2-615
Subtract 615 from both sides.
x^{2}=-613
Subtract 615 from 2 to get -613.
x=\sqrt{613}i x=-\sqrt{613}i
The equation is now solved.
615+x^{2}-2=0
Subtract 2 from both sides.
613+x^{2}=0
Subtract 2 from 615 to get 613.
x^{2}+613=0
Quadratic equations like this one, with an x^{2} term but no x term, can still be solved using the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, once they are put in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 613}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 613 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 613}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-2452}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 613.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{613}i}{2}
Take the square root of -2452.
x=\sqrt{613}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{613}i}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{613}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{613}i}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{613}i x=-\sqrt{613}i
The equation is now solved.
