7x^{2}\times 4=14
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
28x^{2}=14
Multiply 7 and 4 to get 28.
x^{2}=\frac{14}{28}
Divide both sides by 28.
x^{2}=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{14}{28} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 14.
x=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
7x^{2}\times 4=14
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
28x^{2}=14
Multiply 7 and 4 to get 28.
28x^{2}-14=0
Subtract 14 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 28\left(-14\right)}}{2\times 28}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 28 for a, 0 for b, and -14 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 28\left(-14\right)}}{2\times 28}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-112\left(-14\right)}}{2\times 28}
Multiply -4 times 28.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{1568}}{2\times 28}
Multiply -112 times -14.
x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{2}}{2\times 28}
Take the square root of 1568.
x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{2}}{56}
Multiply 2 times 28.
x=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{2}}{56} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±28\sqrt{2}}{56} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} x=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
The equation is now solved.
