$begin mathsize 16px style Given space time space needed space by space the space minutes space hand space show space 3 pm space is 60 minus straight t space and space it space is space less space than space left parenthesis straight t squared divided by 4 right parenthesis space by space 3 Hence space the space quadratic space equation space becomes comma space left parenthesis straight t squared divided by 4 right parenthesis space – space 3 space equals space 60 space – space straight t space fraction numerator left parenthesis straight t squared space – space 12 right parenthesis over denominator 4 end fraction space equals space 60 space – space straight t space left parenthesis straight t to the power of 2 space end exponent – space 12 right parenthesis space equals space 240 space – space 4 space straight t space straight t squared space – space 12 space – space 240 space plus space 4 space straight t space equals space 0 space straight t squared space plus space 4 straight t space – space 252 space equals space 0 space straight t squared space plus space 18 straight t space – space 14 straight t space – space 252 space equals space 0 space straight t left parenthesis straight t space plus space 18 right parenthesis space – space 14 left parenthesis straight t space plus space 18 right parenthesis space equals space 0 space left parenthesis straight t space plus space 18 right parenthesis left parenthesis straight t space – space 14 right parenthesis space equals space 0 space left parenthesis straight t space plus space 18 right parenthesis space equals space 0 space or space left parenthesis straight t space – space 14 right parenthesis space equals space 0 space therefore space straight t space equals space minus space 18 space or space straight t space equals space 14 space Since space straight t space cannot space be space negative comma space straight t space equals space 14 space end style$
