Please help, supposed to solve using the discriminate
-------------
Discriminant.
------------
2t^2+1=6t
2t^2 - 6t + 1 = 0
The onsite solver covers this well.
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=28 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 2.8228756555323, 0.177124344467705. Here's your graph:
