3600t4−120t2=0
Factor the expression
120t2(30t2−1)=0
Divide both sides
t2(30t2−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
t2=030t2−1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
t=030t2−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
30t2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
30t2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
30t2=1
Divide both sides
3030t2=301
Divide the numbers
t2=301
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
t=±301
