Question 212171: I am not sure if this is a quadratic actually, but I wasn't sure what selection in the drop down menu fit this problem.
The equation I am stuck on is s=1/3gt^2 (gt squared) and it says to solve for t
I tried a few methods to try to get t over on the left alone but I keep getting stuck.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! s=1/3gt^2,,,,,,,,,we think it should be 1/2 gt^2, but we'll do the problem as is,,,but g is not squared
.
multiply by 3,,,,,and divide by g
.
3s/g = t^2
.
take square root both sides
.
t - +/- sqrt(3s/g),,,,,,,,answer
.
.
if, s=1/3(gt)^2,,, then just mult by 3
.
3s = (gt)^2
.
take sq rt
.
gt = +/- sqrt(3s)
.
t= +/- [sqrt(3s)}/g
.
.
However, we still like,,,,t= +/- sqrt(2s/g)
.
