To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
t−850t2=0
Factor the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
t−850t2
Rewrite the expression
t−t×850t
Factor out t from the expression
t(1−850t)
t(1−850t)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
t=01−850t=0
Solve the equation for t
More Steps

Evaluate
1−850t=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−850t=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−850t=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
850t=1
Divide both sides
850850t=8501
Divide the numbers
t=8501
t=0t=8501
Solution
t1=0,t2=8501
Alternative Form
t1=0,t2≈0.001176
