200=\frac{981}{200}t^{2}
Anything divided by one gives itself.
\frac{981}{200}t^{2}=200
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
t^{2}=200\times \frac{200}{981}
Multiply both sides by \frac{200}{981}, the reciprocal of \frac{981}{200}.
t^{2}=\frac{40000}{981}
Multiply 200 and \frac{200}{981} to get \frac{40000}{981}.
t=\frac{200\sqrt{109}}{327} t=-\frac{200\sqrt{109}}{327}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
200=\frac{981}{200}t^{2}
Anything divided by one gives itself.
\frac{981}{200}t^{2}=200
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{981}{200}t^{2}-200=0
Subtract 200 from both sides.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times \frac{981}{200}\left(-200\right)}}{2\times \frac{981}{200}}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute \frac{981}{200} for a, 0 for b, and -200 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times \frac{981}{200}\left(-200\right)}}{2\times \frac{981}{200}}
Square 0.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{-\frac{981}{50}\left(-200\right)}}{2\times \frac{981}{200}}
Multiply -4 times \frac{981}{200}.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{3924}}{2\times \frac{981}{200}}
Multiply -\frac{981}{50} times -200.
t=\frac{0±6\sqrt{109}}{2\times \frac{981}{200}}
Take the square root of 3924.
t=\frac{0±6\sqrt{109}}{\frac{981}{100}}
Multiply 2 times \frac{981}{200}.
t=\frac{200\sqrt{109}}{327}
Now solve the equation t=\frac{0±6\sqrt{109}}{\frac{981}{100}} when ± is plus.
t=-\frac{200\sqrt{109}}{327}
Now solve the equation t=\frac{0±6\sqrt{109}}{\frac{981}{100}} when ± is minus.
t=\frac{200\sqrt{109}}{327} t=-\frac{200\sqrt{109}}{327}
The equation is now solved.
