15040\times 34u^{2}=1600
Multiply 940 and 16 to get 15040.
511360u^{2}=1600
Multiply 15040 and 34 to get 511360.
u^{2}=\frac{1600}{511360}
Divide both sides by 511360.
u^{2}=\frac{5}{1598}
Reduce the fraction \frac{1600}{511360} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 320.
u=\frac{\sqrt{7990}}{1598} u=-\frac{\sqrt{7990}}{1598}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
15040\times 34u^{2}=1600
Multiply 940 and 16 to get 15040.
511360u^{2}=1600
Multiply 15040 and 34 to get 511360.
511360u^{2}-1600=0
Subtract 1600 from both sides.
u=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 511360\left(-1600\right)}}{2\times 511360}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 511360 for a, 0 for b, and -1600 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
u=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 511360\left(-1600\right)}}{2\times 511360}
Square 0.
u=\frac{0±\sqrt{-2045440\left(-1600\right)}}{2\times 511360}
Multiply -4 times 511360.
u=\frac{0±\sqrt{3272704000}}{2\times 511360}
Multiply -2045440 times -1600.
u=\frac{0±640\sqrt{7990}}{2\times 511360}
Take the square root of 3272704000.
u=\frac{0±640\sqrt{7990}}{1022720}
Multiply 2 times 511360.
u=\frac{\sqrt{7990}}{1598}
Now solve the equation u=\frac{0±640\sqrt{7990}}{1022720} when ± is plus.
u=-\frac{\sqrt{7990}}{1598}
Now solve the equation u=\frac{0±640\sqrt{7990}}{1022720} when ± is minus.
u=\frac{\sqrt{7990}}{1598} u=-\frac{\sqrt{7990}}{1598}
The equation is now solved.
