28t^{2}-6t^{4}=10
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
28t^{2}-6t^{4}-10=0
Subtract 10 from both sides.
-6t^{2}+28t-10=0
Substitute t for t^{2}.
t=\frac{-28±\sqrt{28^{2}-4\left(-6\right)\left(-10\right)}}{-6\times 2}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute -6 for a, 28 for b, and -10 for c in the quadratic formula.
t=\frac{-28±4\sqrt{34}}{-12}
Do the calculations.
t=\frac{7-\sqrt{34}}{3} t=\frac{\sqrt{34}+7}{3}
Solve the equation t=\frac{-28±4\sqrt{34}}{-12} when ± is plus and when ± is minus.
t=\sqrt{\frac{7-\sqrt{34}}{3}} t=-\sqrt{\frac{7-\sqrt{34}}{3}} t=\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{34}+7}{3}} t=-\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{34}+7}{3}}
Since t=t^{2}, the solutions are obtained by evaluating t=±\sqrt{t} for each t.
