0=-4.9t2+20t+1.5

Solution for 0=-4.9t2+20t+1.5 equation:

0=-4.9t^2+20t+1.5

We move all terms to the left:

0-(-4.9t^2+20t+1.5)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-(-4.9t^2+20t+1.5)=0

We get rid of parentheses

4.9t^2-20t-1.5=0

a = 4.9; b = -20; c = -1.5;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -202-4·4.9·(-1.5)
Δ = 429.4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)-\sqrt{429.4}}{2*4.9}=\frac{20-\sqrt{429.4}}{9.8}
$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)+\sqrt{429.4}}{2*4.9}=\frac{20+\sqrt{429.4}}{9.8}
