4.9t^2-70t-1=0

a = 4.9; b = -70; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -702-4·4.9·(-1)
Δ = 4919.6
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{-(-70)-\sqrt{4919.6}}{2*4.9}=\frac{70-\sqrt{4919.6}}{9.8}
$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-70)+\sqrt{4919.6}}{2*4.9}=\frac{70+\sqrt{4919.6}}{9.8}
