v_{1}^{2}=4\times 82^{2}
Multiply 2 and 41 to get 82.
v_{1}^{2}=4\times 6724
Calculate 82 to the power of 2 and get 6724.
v_{1}^{2}=26896
Multiply 4 and 6724 to get 26896.
v_{1}^{2}-26896=0
Subtract 26896 from both sides.
\left(v_{1}-164\right)\left(v_{1}+164\right)=0
Consider v_{1}^{2}-26896. Rewrite v_{1}^{2}-26896 as v_{1}^{2}-164^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
v_{1}=164 v_{1}=-164
To find equation solutions, solve v_{1}-164=0 and v_{1}+164=0.
v_{1}^{2}=4\times 82^{2}
Multiply 2 and 41 to get 82.
v_{1}^{2}=4\times 6724
Calculate 82 to the power of 2 and get 6724.
v_{1}^{2}=26896
Multiply 4 and 6724 to get 26896.
v_{1}=164 v_{1}=-164
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
v_{1}^{2}=4\times 82^{2}
Multiply 2 and 41 to get 82.
v_{1}^{2}=4\times 6724
Calculate 82 to the power of 2 and get 6724.
v_{1}^{2}=26896
Multiply 4 and 6724 to get 26896.
v_{1}^{2}-26896=0
Subtract 26896 from both sides.
v_{1}=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-26896\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -26896 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
v_{1}=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-26896\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
v_{1}=\frac{0±\sqrt{107584}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -26896.
v_{1}=\frac{0±328}{2}
Take the square root of 107584.
v_{1}=164
Now solve the equation v_{1}=\frac{0±328}{2} when ± is plus. Divide 328 by 2.
v_{1}=-164
Now solve the equation v_{1}=\frac{0±328}{2} when ± is minus. Divide -328 by 2.
v_{1}=164 v_{1}=-164
The equation is now solved.
