2t^2 -- 3 = t
Or 2t^2 -- t -- 3 = 0
whence
t = 1/4 ± 1/4√{(--1)^2 -- 4(2)(--3)} = 1/4{1 ± 5} = 3/2, -- 1

it is a quadratic equation therefore move everything to one side.
therefore:
2t^2 - t - 3 = 0
factorize(2t - 3)(t + 1) = 0
ab = 0 if and only is a is 0 or b is 0
therefore,
2t - 3 = 0 or t + 1 = 0
t = 3/2 or t = -1
hope that helps,

2t^2 - 3 = t
bringing t to the left side,
2t^2 - t - 3 = 0
we now proceed to factorise the expression on the left side.
2t^2 + 2t - 3t - 3 = 0
2t( t + 1) -3( t + 1) = 0
since (t +1) is common to both terms,
(2t - 3)(t + 1) = 0
2t - 3 = 0
t = 3/2
or t + 1= 0
t = -1
the two roots are 3/2 and 1.

2t^2 - 3 = t
2t^2 - t -3=0
ab= product = 2* -3= -6
a+b= sum = -1
a=2 b=-3
2t^2 +2t -3t - 3 =0
2t(t+1) - 3(t+1)=0
(2t-3) (t+1) =0
Therefore,
either (2t-3) = 0 or (t+1) = 0
i.e, t = 3/2 or t = -1

It is not a trigonometric question
you can write 2t^2-3-t=0
the solutions are
t1 = 1+(1+24)^0.5/4 = 1+5/2= 1.5
and t2 = 1-(1+24)^0.5/4 = 1+5/2= -1
roots -1, +1.5

2t^2 - 3 = t ²
2t ² -t - 3 = 0
(2t -3)(t +1) = 0
t = 3/2 . . . and . . . t = - 1

2t^2-3=t
=> 2t^2-t-3 = 0 (which is a quadratic equation of the format ax^2+bx+c=0)
the solution is x = (-b+(sqrt(b^2-4ac)))/2a and (-b-(sqrt(b^2-4ac)))/2a
which is => t= (1+sqrt(1+24))/4 and (1-sqrt(1+24))/4
implies => t = 3/2 and -1
