x^{2}+100=\left(2x\right)^{2}
Calculate 10 to the power of 2 and get 100.
x^{2}+100=2^{2}x^{2}
Expand \left(2x\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+100=4x^{2}
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
x^{2}+100-4x^{2}=0
Subtract 4x^{2} from both sides.
-3x^{2}+100=0
Combine x^{2} and -4x^{2} to get -3x^{2}.
-3x^{2}=-100
Subtract 100 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x^{2}=\frac{-100}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x^{2}=\frac{100}{3}
Fraction \frac{-100}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{100}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
x=\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3} x=-\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}+100=\left(2x\right)^{2}
Calculate 10 to the power of 2 and get 100.
x^{2}+100=2^{2}x^{2}
Expand \left(2x\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+100=4x^{2}
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
x^{2}+100-4x^{2}=0
Subtract 4x^{2} from both sides.
-3x^{2}+100=0
Combine x^{2} and -4x^{2} to get -3x^{2}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-3\right)\times 100}}{2\left(-3\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -3 for a, 0 for b, and 100 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-3\right)\times 100}}{2\left(-3\right)}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{12\times 100}}{2\left(-3\right)}
Multiply -4 times -3.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{1200}}{2\left(-3\right)}
Multiply 12 times 100.
x=\frac{0±20\sqrt{3}}{2\left(-3\right)}
Take the square root of 1200.
x=\frac{0±20\sqrt{3}}{-6}
Multiply 2 times -3.
x=-\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±20\sqrt{3}}{-6} when ± is plus.
x=\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±20\sqrt{3}}{-6} when ± is minus.
x=-\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3} x=\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{3}
The equation is now solved.
