To solve the quadratic equation \(4x^2 - 28 = 0\), we can first isolate the \(x^2\) term by adding 28 to both sides and then dividing by 4. After that, we take the square root of both sides to solve for \(x\).
Step 1: Set Up the Equation
We start with the quadratic equation:
\[
4x^2 - 28 = 0
\]
Step 2: Isolate \(x^2\)
To isolate \(x^2\), we add 28 to both sides:
\[
4x^2 = 28
\]
Step 3: Divide by 4
Next, we divide both sides by 4:
\[
x^2 = 7
\]
Step 4: Take the Square Root
Taking the square root of both sides gives us:
\[
x = \pm \sqrt{7}
\]
Final Answer
The solutions to the equation are:
\[
\boxed{x = 2.6458} \quad \text{and} \quad \boxed{x = -2.6458}
\]
