x^{2}+39=0
Add 34 and 5 to get 39.
x^{2}=-39
Subtract 39 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\sqrt{39}i x=-\sqrt{39}i
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}+39=0
Add 34 and 5 to get 39.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 39}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 39 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 39}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-156}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 39.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{39}i}{2}
Take the square root of -156.
x=\sqrt{39}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{39}i}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{39}i
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{39}i}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{39}i x=-\sqrt{39}i
The equation is now solved.
