x^{2}=1728-\sqrt{4}
Calculate 12 to the power of 3 and get 1728.
x^{2}=1728-2
Calculate the square root of 4 and get 2.
x^{2}=1726
Subtract 2 from 1728 to get 1726.
x=\sqrt{1726} x=-\sqrt{1726}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=1728-\sqrt{4}
Calculate 12 to the power of 3 and get 1728.
x^{2}=1728-2
Calculate the square root of 4 and get 2.
x^{2}=1726
Subtract 2 from 1728 to get 1726.
x^{2}-1726=0
Subtract 1726 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-1726\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -1726 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-1726\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{6904}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -1726.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{1726}}{2}
Take the square root of 6904.
x=\sqrt{1726}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{1726}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\sqrt{1726}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{1726}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\sqrt{1726} x=-\sqrt{1726}
The equation is now solved.
