x^{2}=132
Multiply 40 and 3.3 to get 132.
x=2\sqrt{33} x=-2\sqrt{33}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=132
Multiply 40 and 3.3 to get 132.
x^{2}-132=0
Subtract 132 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-132\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -132 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-132\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{528}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -132.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{33}}{2}
Take the square root of 528.
x=2\sqrt{33}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{33}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-2\sqrt{33}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{33}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=2\sqrt{33} x=-2\sqrt{33}
The equation is now solved.
