Solve x^2=725

$$x ^ { 2 } = 725$$

Solve for x

$$x=5\sqrt{29}\approx 26.925824036$$

$$x=-5\sqrt{29}\approx -26.925824036$$

Steps by Finding Square Root

Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

$$x=5\sqrt{29} x=-5\sqrt{29}$$

Steps Using the Quadratic Formula

Subtract 725 from both sides.

$$x^{2}-725=0$$

This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -725 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.

$$x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-725\right)}}{2}$$

Square 0.

$$x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-725\right)}}{2}$$

Multiply -4 times -725.

$$x=\frac{0±\sqrt{2900}}{2}$$

Take the square root of 2900.

$$x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{29}}{2}$$

Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{29}}{2} when ± is plus.

$$x=5\sqrt{29}$$

Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±10\sqrt{29}}{2} when ± is minus.

$$x=-5\sqrt{29}$$

The equation is now solved.

$$x=5\sqrt{29} x=-5\sqrt{29}$$
