x^{2}+82=0
Add 25 and 57 to get 82.
x^{2}=-82
Subtract 82 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\sqrt{82}i x=-\sqrt{82}i
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}+82=0
Add 25 and 57 to get 82.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 82}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 82 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 82}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-328}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 82.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{82}i}{2}
Take the square root of -328.
x=\sqrt{82}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{82}i}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{82}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{82}i}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{82}i x=-\sqrt{82}i
The equation is now solved.
