x^{2}-1882=0
Subtract 2080 from 198 to get -1882.
x^{2}=1882
Add 1882 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\sqrt{1882} x=-\sqrt{1882}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}-1882=0
Subtract 2080 from 198 to get -1882.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-1882\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -1882 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-1882\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{7528}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -1882.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{1882}}{2}
Take the square root of 7528.
x=\sqrt{1882}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{1882}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{1882}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{1882}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{1882} x=-\sqrt{1882}
The equation is now solved.
