m^{2}-7=0
Add -7 and 0 to get -7.
m^{2}=7
Add 7 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
m=\sqrt{7} m=-\sqrt{7}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
m^{2}-7=0
Add -7 and 0 to get -7.
m=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-7\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -7 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
m=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-7\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
m=\frac{0±\sqrt{28}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -7.
m=\frac{0±2\sqrt{7}}{2}
Take the square root of 28.
m=\sqrt{7}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{0±2\sqrt{7}}{2} when ± is plus.
m=-\sqrt{7}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{0±2\sqrt{7}}{2} when ± is minus.
m=\sqrt{7} m=-\sqrt{7}
The equation is now solved.
