x^{2}=7500+150^{2}
Multiply 2500 and 3 to get 7500.
x^{2}=7500+22500
Calculate 150 to the power of 2 and get 22500.
x^{2}=30000
Add 7500 and 22500 to get 30000.
x=100\sqrt{3} x=-100\sqrt{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=7500+150^{2}
Multiply 2500 and 3 to get 7500.
x^{2}=7500+22500
Calculate 150 to the power of 2 and get 22500.
x^{2}=30000
Add 7500 and 22500 to get 30000.
x^{2}-30000=0
Subtract 30000 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-30000\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -30000 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-30000\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{120000}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -30000.
x=\frac{0±200\sqrt{3}}{2}
Take the square root of 120000.
x=100\sqrt{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±200\sqrt{3}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-100\sqrt{3}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±200\sqrt{3}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=100\sqrt{3} x=-100\sqrt{3}
The equation is now solved.
