900t^{2}=9^{3}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 900.
900t^{2}=729
Calculate 9 to the power of 3 and get 729.
900t^{2}-729=0
Subtract 729 from both sides.
100t^{2}-81=0
Divide both sides by 9.
\left(10t-9\right)\left(10t+9\right)=0
Consider 100t^{2}-81. Rewrite 100t^{2}-81 as \left(10t\right)^{2}-9^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
t=\frac{9}{10} t=-\frac{9}{10}
To find equation solutions, solve 10t-9=0 and 10t+9=0.
900t^{2}=9^{3}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 900.
900t^{2}=729
Calculate 9 to the power of 3 and get 729.
t^{2}=\frac{729}{900}
Divide both sides by 900.
t^{2}=\frac{81}{100}
Reduce the fraction \frac{729}{900} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 9.
t=\frac{9}{10} t=-\frac{9}{10}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
900t^{2}=9^{3}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 900.
900t^{2}=729
Calculate 9 to the power of 3 and get 729.
900t^{2}-729=0
Subtract 729 from both sides.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 900\left(-729\right)}}{2\times 900}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 900 for a, 0 for b, and -729 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 900\left(-729\right)}}{2\times 900}
Square 0.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{-3600\left(-729\right)}}{2\times 900}
Multiply -4 times 900.
t=\frac{0±\sqrt{2624400}}{2\times 900}
Multiply -3600 times -729.
t=\frac{0±1620}{2\times 900}
Take the square root of 2624400.
t=\frac{0±1620}{1800}
Multiply 2 times 900.
t=\frac{9}{10}
Now solve the equation t=\frac{0±1620}{1800} when ± is plus. Reduce the fraction \frac{1620}{1800} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 180.
t=-\frac{9}{10}
Now solve the equation t=\frac{0±1620}{1800} when ± is minus. Reduce the fraction \frac{-1620}{1800} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 180.
t=\frac{9}{10} t=-\frac{9}{10}
The equation is now solved.
