4A^{2}=A^{2}-324
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
4A^{2}-A^{2}=-324
Subtract A^{2} from both sides.
3A^{2}=-324
Combine 4A^{2} and -A^{2} to get 3A^{2}.
A^{2}=\frac{-324}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
A^{2}=-108
Divide -324 by 3 to get -108.
A=6\sqrt{3}i A=-6\sqrt{3}i
The equation is now solved.
4A^{2}=A^{2}-324
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
4A^{2}-A^{2}=-324
Subtract A^{2} from both sides.
3A^{2}=-324
Combine 4A^{2} and -A^{2} to get 3A^{2}.
3A^{2}+324=0
Add 324 to both sides.
A=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 3\times 324}}{2\times 3}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 3 for a, 0 for b, and 324 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
A=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 3\times 324}}{2\times 3}
Square 0.
A=\frac{0±\sqrt{-12\times 324}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -4 times 3.
A=\frac{0±\sqrt{-3888}}{2\times 3}
Multiply -12 times 324.
A=\frac{0±36\sqrt{3}i}{2\times 3}
Take the square root of -3888.
A=\frac{0±36\sqrt{3}i}{6}
Multiply 2 times 3.
A=6\sqrt{3}i
Now solve the equation A=\frac{0±36\sqrt{3}i}{6} when ± is plus.
A=-6\sqrt{3}i
Now solve the equation A=\frac{0±36\sqrt{3}i}{6} when ± is minus.
A=6\sqrt{3}i A=-6\sqrt{3}i
The equation is now solved.
