someone halp with the question

Thaaaaaaaaaaaat would be Julius Caesar. I'm trying it man. I'm doing a guess and check kind of method.

First of all it's Julius Caesar, and second of all you have a numerical post telling you what to do, and a verbal post telling you what to do. Don't get greedy.

Et tu Brute? Then fall, Caesar. Ah. So many classic lines.

I liked the part that said "The End" the best.

missed the part on the romans /embarrassed

i get to 0=t²(t²-5t+2) but i fail at factoring it

You can't. Use the quadratic formula instead.

Because you can't factor it, that 's why we said use the quadratic formula for the quadratic term. The root of the t squared term is zero, but you know that isn't an answer from the above reasons.

Just do guess and check, man. It's a pain in the sphincter, but it'll work eventually. It's what I do when I'm stuck on a BS question on a test.

You can't guess and check on a problem like that, unless you start guessing decimals.

...no wonder i'm coming up with nothing :S

Yeah man, quad formula ftw good luck guess/checking things like 8/6 and such

Try the quadratic formula and you'll see why.

No, no, I see now. You don't understand the pure hate I have for the quadratic formula. It's like...hate. Yeah.

factoring fails, quadratic formula rapes face

That too.

Seriously, I hate math. It's not like it's going to help me in my career path. I wish it would go back to separate classes of Trig, Algebra...etc. Now it's this bullshit "Math A, Math B, Math C" stuff.

Trig, I'm actually very good at. I don't mind it.

Calculus owns everything. This subject is art tbh.

this is funny

Patton what the hell are you doing.

marine, this thread is obviously not for your age group, go get drunk

find t

show work too please

5t³/t²(t²+2) = 5t/(t²+2)

5t/(t²+2) = 1

5t = t²+2

t² - 5t + 2 =0

quadratic formula

t= (5+(17)^1/2)/2 ; (5-(17)^1/2)/2

sorry, it doesn't get any cleaner than that.

Just graph the thing on a graphing calculator. ;P
Just did it and the results were: 0.43844719, and 4.5615528. Sorry no exact values, but that gets you in the ball park.

lol yeah, it was like 11pm when i did it and i had 3 1/2 hours of sleep the night before....that was a failure if there ever was one.

That's how I would have done it. The key here is the ability to divide and multiply exponents.
