x^{2}+4=192
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}=192-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
x^{2}=188
Subtract 4 from 192 to get 188.
x=2\sqrt{47} x=-2\sqrt{47}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}+4=192
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}+4-192=0
Subtract 192 from both sides.
x^{2}-188=0
Subtract 192 from 4 to get -188.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-188\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -188 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-188\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{752}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -188.
x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{47}}{2}
Take the square root of 752.
x=2\sqrt{47}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{47}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-2\sqrt{47}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±4\sqrt{47}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=2\sqrt{47} x=-2\sqrt{47}
The equation is now solved.
