i need to get t: H=16t^2+14t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for t in terms of h? Or what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just need h to be zero but idk how to figure out what t is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok well if h=0 we can easily work with that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if h = 0, then 16t^2 +14 t = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look for a common factor of both terms and factor it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i guess i dont know how to get rid of the squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so 2t would be a factor correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if 2t is a factor then what would you be left with? So 2t times what is the same as \[16t^2+14t\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8t+7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. So you get \[2t(8t+7)=0\] All you need to do now is solve for t :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem.
