: Could you please help me with this application involving a quadratic equation?
s=v[0]t+(gt^2)/2 solve for t (a motion formula)
First I got rid of the fraction by mulitplying the equation by 2
2s=2v[0]t=gt^2
2s/2v[0]t-g=t^2
sqrt 2s/2v[0]t - g = sqrt t^2
sqrt 2s/2v[0]t - g = t
I have a feeling I'm completely off... but I tried. Please help!
Thank you in advance!

Well you've got t on both sides now.
How about if we start over and re-write the equation?

or maybe a little more clearly

where a,b, and c are constants

Does that help?

Could you solve for t now?
If you still need help, please re-post a question.
