# Thread: Maple - solving the unknown t

1. ## Maple - solving the unknown t

How can I solve this in Maple.
24000:=((1/12*(350-t)*(350-t)^3)-(Pi/64*(t*(25/10))^4))/(175-t);
I tried solve(...) but it didn't work.

Could anyone help me?

Kind regards,
Johan

Code:
solve({24000 = ((1/12*(350-t))*(350-t)^3-(1/64)*Pi*(t*(25*(1/10)))^4)/(175-t)}, {t})

{t = 40*RootOf(1495585+(256-1875*Pi)*_Z^4-8960*_Z^3+117600*_Z^2-684848*_Z, index = 1)}, {t = 40*RootOf(1495585+(256-1875*Pi)*_Z^4-8960*_Z^3+117600*_Z^2-684848*_Z, index = 2)}, {t = 40*RootOf(1495585+(256-1875*Pi)*_Z^4-8960*_Z^3+117600*_Z^2-684848*_Z, index = 3)}, {t = 40*RootOf(1495585+(256-1875*Pi)*_Z^4-8960*_Z^3+117600*_Z^2-684848*_Z, index = 4)}

This could not be right?

The explicit solutions to high-degree polynomials can be very large, so Maple may return a solution using RootOf expressions as placeholders. Maple may also use RootOf expressions as placeholders when it cannot find an explicit form for the solution of a non-algebraic equation in one variable.
