Question

How do you solve this..?

Answer 1

\[16t ^{2}-100t+76\]

Answer 2

there needs to be an equation in order for it to be solved...

Answer 3

Do you see it? I put it up there @dpaInc

Answer 4

lol, sorry i may need thicker glasses... but i can't find it.......

Answer 5

16t^2-100t+76

Answer 6

oh... i mean an equation.... there is no equal sign.... so nothing to solve...

it's like saying this... solve: x+3

Answer 7

how do you solve x+3 ?

Answer 8

Oh well, I didn't think that it was necessary to put the equal sign because we've done so many equations, I assumed you would have known.

Answer 9

the question is how to factor it

Answer 10

x+3? Isn't it -3?

Answer 11

it makes a big difference...

solve: x+3=5
solve: x+3=0

they have different solutions...

Answer 12

x=2,-3

Answer 13

okay but he wants to know... what is the equation equal too....

Answer 14

but how do you know which one is the correct one if i didn't specify ?

Answer 15

How does this relate to my equation?

Answer 16

you do not have an equation...

Answer 17

because if we have it something to equal too, we can actually solve for t... if not it's just nothing...

Answer 18

16t^2-100t+76=0
-.-

Answer 19

well now that changes everything... Well you cannot solve for t... i tried it for is and it won't give you any straight up whole numbers...

Answer 20

So do you use the quadratic formula?

Answer 21

if you can't factor, yes, quadratic forumula or complete the square.:)

Answer 22

\[100\pm \sqrt{100^{2}-4(16)(76)}/2(16)\]

Answer 23

?

Answer 24

yep...

Answer 25

It's not a perfect square right?

Answer 26

nope...... ugly numbers...:(

Answer 27

is this question a part of a bigger question?

Answer 28

No, thank goodness, haha

Answer 29

i asked because your coefficients look like it had something to do with projectiles....

Answer 30

Ah, no :P

Answer 31

but in projectiles, the 16 is actually a negative 16....

Answer 32

ok... good work sakigirl...:)

Answer 33

remember to solve your EQUATIONS...:)

Answer 34

Haha, alright :P Thank you

Answer 35

yw...:)
