x^{2}=35-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
x^{2}=34
Subtract 1 from 35 to get 34.
x=\sqrt{34} x=-\sqrt{34}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}+1-35=0
Subtract 35 from both sides.
x^{2}-34=0
Subtract 35 from 1 to get -34.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-34\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -34 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-34\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{136}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -34.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{34}}{2}
Take the square root of 136.
x=\sqrt{34}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{34}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{34}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{34}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{34} x=-\sqrt{34}
The equation is now solved.
