h^{2}+74=0
Add 64 and 10 to get 74.
h^{2}=-74
Subtract 74 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
h=\sqrt{74}i h=-\sqrt{74}i
The equation is now solved.
h^{2}+74=0
Add 64 and 10 to get 74.
h=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 74}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 74 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
h=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 74}}{2}
Square 0.
h=\frac{0±\sqrt{-296}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 74.
h=\frac{0±2\sqrt{74}i}{2}
Take the square root of -296.
h=\sqrt{74}i
Now solve the equation h=\frac{0±2\sqrt{74}i}{2} when ± is plus.
h=-\sqrt{74}i
Now solve the equation h=\frac{0±2\sqrt{74}i}{2} when ± is minus.
h=\sqrt{74}i h=-\sqrt{74}i
The equation is now solved.
