18t^2=-9t+5

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[18t ^{2}+9t-5=0\]

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

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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! :)

hero (hero):

18t^2=-9t+5 18t^2+9t-5=0 18t^2+15t-6t-5 = 0 3t(6t+5)-1(6t+5)=0 (6t+5)(3t-1)=0 t = -5/6, 1/3
