60=2t+4.9t^2

Solution for 60=2t+4.9t^2 equation:

60=2t+4.9t^2

We move all terms to the left:

60-(2t+4.9t^2)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-4.9t^2-2t+60=0

a = -4.9; b = -2; c = +60;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·(-4.9)·60
Δ = 1180
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1180}=\sqrt{4*295}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{295}=2\sqrt{295}$
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-2\sqrt{295}}{2*-4.9}=\frac{2-2\sqrt{295}}{-9.8}
$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+2\sqrt{295}}{2*-4.9}=\frac{2+2\sqrt{295}}{-9.8}
