Question

how would you solve this?
h=-16t^2+ct+p solve equation for letter t

Answer 1

I assume that \(c,p,h\) are arbitrary constants then rearrange in quadratic form:
\[(-16)t^2+(c)t+(p-h)=0\]
you can use the standard quadratic solution for \[ax^2+bx+c=0\] then \[x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]
