Find the roots
t1=32,t2=23
Alternative Form
t1=0.6˙,t2=1.5
Evaluate
(40t−60)2(30t−20)2
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(40t−60)2(30t−20)2=0
Since the left-hand side is always positive or 0,and the right-hand side is always 0,the statement is true for any value of t
(40t−60)2(30t−20)2=0,t∈R
Calculate
(40t−60)2(30t−20)2=0

Write the number in exponential form with the base of 200
2002(2t−3)2(3t−2)2
Calculate
200∣(2t−3)(3t−2)∣
200∣(2t−3)(3t−2)∣=0
Rewrite the expression
∣(2t−3)(3t−2)∣=0
Rewrite the expression
(2t−3)(3t−2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
2t−3=03t−2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2t−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2t=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2t=3
Divide both sides
22t=23
Divide the numbers
t=23
t=233t−2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3t−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3t=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3t=2
Divide both sides
33t=32
Divide the numbers
t=32
t=23t=32
