7t^3=2t(t+5/2)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

distribute 2t first \[\implies 7t^3 = 2t(t) + 2t(\frac 52)\] simplify... \[\implies 7t^3 = 2t^2 + 5t\] put everything on one side \[\implies 7t^3 - 2t^2 - 5t = 0\] can you solve for t now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thnk so

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

wonderful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im at t(7t^2-2t-5)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

good. now equate the factors to 0

@kingkri One answer is t=0, and 7t^2-2t-5 =0 You could find the other two values of t by factoring trinomials. Or applying the Quadratic Formula: \[t=−b± \frac{ \sqrt{b ^{2}−4ac} }{ 2a }\] Can u find a=?, b=? and c=?
