x^{2}+3=1
Divide 4 by 4 to get 1.
x^{2}=1-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
x^{2}=-2
Subtract 3 from 1 to get -2.
x=\sqrt{2}i x=-\sqrt{2}i
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}+3=1
Divide 4 by 4 to get 1.
x^{2}+3-1=0
Subtract 1 from both sides.
x^{2}+2=0
Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 2}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 2 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 2}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-8}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 2.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{2}i}{2}
Take the square root of -8.
x=\sqrt{2}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{2}i}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{2}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{2}i}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{2}i x=-\sqrt{2}i
The equation is now solved.
