To solve the expression \(-16t^2 + 364t\), we can factor out the greatest common factor from the terms. The greatest common factor here is 4t. After factoring, we can express the quadratic in its factored form.
Step 1: Factor the Expression
We start with the expression
\[
-16t^2 + 364t
\]
To factor this expression, we identify the greatest common factor, which is \(4t\). Thus, we can rewrite the expression as:
\[
-16t^2 + 364t = -4t(4t - 91)
\]
Step 2: Identify the Roots
To find the roots of the factored expression, we set it equal to zero:
\[
-4t(4t - 91) = 0
\]
This gives us two equations to solve:
\( -4t = 0 \)
\( 4t - 91 = 0 \)
From the first equation, we find:
\[
t = 0
\]
From the second equation, we solve for \(t\):
\[
4t = 91 \implies t = \frac{91}{4}
\]
Step 3: Summarize the Roots
The roots of the expression are:
\[
t = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad t = \frac{91}{4}
\]
