Find all values of t such that 8t^2 \le 3-10t

 

$$\\8t^2+10t-3\le0\\\\
graph\;\;y=8t^2+10t-3\\\\
$and see where $y\le0$$

 

I am going to use a graphing program but you can use the quadratic formula to find the roots and then it is a concave up parabola. (because the number in fron ot x^2 is positive)

Here is the graph

From the graph it can be seen that the answer is   [-1.5,0.25]
