Question 398862: Hi. Can you please help me?
I need to solve the following equation when P(t) = 0....
P(t)=-t^4+9t^2+400
Thank you!

There are NO SOLUTIONS to this equation, since any value raised to an EVEN power must be greater than or equal to 0. Then, if you add +400 to this quantity, the result will always be positive, NEVER equal to 0. NO SOLUTION!!
