$x^{2} + 53 = 0$

Step 1

Subtract $53$ from both sides of the equation.

$x^{2} = - 53$

Step 2

Take the specified root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$x = \pm \sqrt{- 53}$

Step 3

Simplify $\pm \sqrt{- 53}$ .

Step 3.1

Rewrite $- 53$ as $- 1 (53)$ .

$x = \pm \sqrt{- 1 (53)}$

Step 3.2

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (53)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{53}$ .

$x = \pm \sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{53}$

Step 3.3

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$x = \pm i \sqrt{53}$

Step 4

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

Step 4.1

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$x = i \sqrt{53}$

Step 4.2

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$x = - i \sqrt{53}$

Step 4.3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$x = i \sqrt{53}, - i \sqrt{53}$
