S=8t-t^2

Solution for S=8t-t^2 equation:

=8S-S^2

We move all terms to the left:

-(8S-S^2)=0

We get rid of parentheses

S^2-8S=0

a = 1; b = -8; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·1·0
Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$S_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$S_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$S_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-8}{2*1}=\frac{0}{2}
=0
$
$S_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+8}{2*1}=\frac{16}{2}
=8
