x^{2}+55=3899
Calculate 3025 to the power of \frac{1}{2} and get 55.
x^{2}+55-3899=0
Subtract 3899 from both sides.
x^{2}-3844=0
Subtract 3899 from 55 to get -3844.
\left(x-62\right)\left(x+62\right)=0
Consider x^{2}-3844. Rewrite x^{2}-3844 as x^{2}-62^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
x=62 x=-62
To find equation solutions, solve x-62=0 and x+62=0.
x^{2}+55=3899
Calculate 3025 to the power of \frac{1}{2} and get 55.
x^{2}=3899-55
Subtract 55 from both sides.
x^{2}=3844
Subtract 55 from 3899 to get 3844.
x=62 x=-62
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}+55=3899
Calculate 3025 to the power of \frac{1}{2} and get 55.
x^{2}+55-3899=0
Subtract 3899 from both sides.
x^{2}-3844=0
Subtract 3899 from 55 to get -3844.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-3844\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -3844 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-3844\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{15376}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -3844.
x=\frac{0±124}{2}
Take the square root of 15376.
x=62
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±124}{2} when ± is plus. Divide 124 by 2.
x=-62
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±124}{2} when ± is minus. Divide -124 by 2.
x=62 x=-62
The equation is now solved.
