4t^2 ≤ -9t + 12 -14t + 36             simplify as

 

4t^2 + 23t -48  ≤ 0            set as an inequaity

 

4t^2 + 23t - 48 = 0       use the quadratic formula   to find the roots

 

[ -23 +/- sqrt [ 23^2 - 4*4*-48 ] /  (2*4)     =  t

 

[-23 +/-  sqrt [ 1297 ] / 8  = t

 

This is a parabola which intersects the x axis....the part lying between the roots will be the answer

 

So....the solution is

 

[ -23 - sqrt 1297 ] /8   ≤  t   ≤  [ -23 + sqrt 1297] / 8
