Solved by pluggable solver: Quadratic Formula

Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for t:

Starting with the general quadratic

the general solution using the quadratic equation is:

So lets solve ( notice , , and )

Plug in a=1, b=7, and c=4

Square 7 to get 49

Multiply to get

Combine like terms in the radicand (everything under the square root)

Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying the square root, check out this solver)

Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2

So now the expression breaks down into two parts

or

Now break up the fraction

or

Simplify
