Answer:

the question is not written correctly 16t2 can't be used in the equation

Explanation:

do it it correctly you need to combine the like numbers, subtract the 48 from both sides and then divide the number with the t to both sides.

Answer:

We get the value of t as:


t=3+√(6)\ and\ t=3-√(6)

Explanation:

We are asked to solve the given equation for t.

The quadratic equation in terms of the variable t is given by:


16t^2-96t+48=0

On dividing both side of the equation by 16 we get:


t^2-6t+3=0

Now, we know that any quadratic equation of the type:


at^2+bt+c=0 has solution as :


t=(-b\pm √(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

Here,


a=1,\ b=-6\ and\ c=3

i.e.


t=(-(-6)\pm √((-6)^2-4* 1* 3))/(2* 1)\\\\t=(6\pm √(36-12))/(2)\\\\t=(6\pm √(24))/(2)\\\\t=(6\pm 2√(6))/(2)\\\\t=3\pm √(6)

i.e.


t=3+√(6)\ and\ t=3-√(6)
