x^{2}=9\times 49
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}=441
Multiply 9 and 49 to get 441.
x=21 x=-21
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=9\times 49
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}=441
Multiply 9 and 49 to get 441.
x^{2}-441=0
Subtract 441 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-441\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -441 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-441\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{1764}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -441.
x=\frac{0±42}{2}
Take the square root of 1764.
x=21
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±42}{2} when ± is plus. Divide 42 by 2.
x=-21
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±42}{2} when ± is minus. Divide -42 by 2.
x=21 x=-21
The equation is now solved.
