   Hey all -
   
   I'm just looking for some help on an algebraic equation, I seem to have forgotten how to isolate t from this type of equation --
   
   x = v_0t + 1/2at^2
   
   What do you all think?
   
   Thanks!

   It's a quadratic in t.
   
   Use the quadratic formula to solve for t.
   
   if ax² + bx + c = 0
   then
   [tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
