\[x² - 5\sqrt{x^{2}} - 36 = 0\]
\[x^{2} - 5|x| - 36 = 0\]
\[D = ( - 5)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot ( - 36) =\]
\[= 25 + 144 = 169\]
\[x_{1} = \frac{5 + \sqrt{169}}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{5 + 13}{2} =\]
\[= \frac{18}{2} = 9\]
\[x_{2} = \frac{5 - \sqrt{169}}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{5 - 13}{2} =\]
\[= \frac{- 8}{2} = - 4\ (не\ подходит).\]
\[D = 5^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot ( - 36) =\]
\[= 25 + 144 = 169\]
\[x_{1} = \frac{- 5 + \sqrt{169}}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{- 5 + 13}{2} =\]
\[= \frac{8}{2} = 4\ (не\ подходит)\]
\[x_{2} = \frac{- 5 - \sqrt{169}}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{- 5 - 13}{2} =\]
\[= \frac{- 18}{2} = - 9\]
\[Ответ:x = 9;\ x = - 9.\]
