9t^{2}=88
Cancel out 4 on both sides.
t^{2}=\frac{88}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
t=\frac{2\sqrt{22}}{3} t=-\frac{2\sqrt{22}}{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
9t^{2}=88
Cancel out 4 on both sides.
t^{2}=\frac{88}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
t^{2}-\frac{88}{9}=0
Subtract \frac{88}{9} from both sides.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{88}{9}\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{88}{9} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{88}{9}\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{352}{9}}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -\frac{88}{9}.
t=\frac{0±\frac{4\sqrt{22}}{3}}{2}
Take the square root of \frac{352}{9}.
t=\frac{2\sqrt{22}}{3}
Now solve the equation t=\frac{0±\frac{4\sqrt{22}}{3}}{2} when ± is plus.
t=-\frac{2\sqrt{22}}{3}
Now solve the equation t=\frac{0±\frac{4\sqrt{22}}{3}}{2} when ± is minus.
t=\frac{2\sqrt{22}}{3} t=-\frac{2\sqrt{22}}{3}
The equation is now solved.
