\[18t ^{2}+9t-5=0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got that and a=18,b=9,c=-5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
help me :(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(3t-1)(6t+5)=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how does it change if you use the quadratic equation
Still Need Help?

t = 1/3, t = -5/6

it doesnt change anything if you use the quadratic....it comes out to the same in the end
OpenStudy (cornzyblack):
Firt we simplify
we make it look like this 18t^2 + 9t - 5= 0
Using Quadratic formula we have
x = (-b + sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
and x = (-b - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
if we use at^2 + bt + c = 0
and compare with 18t^2 + 9t -5 =0
we get a= 18, b=9, c=-5
so, x = 0.333
and x=-0.833
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
18t^2=-9t+5
18t^2 + 9t - 5 = 0
a = 18
b = 9
c = -5
Insert those values in Quadratic equation. and u are done! :)
