Raise $\sqrt{g}$ to the power of $1$ .

$t = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2 s} \sqrt{g}}{{\sqrt{g}}^{1} {\sqrt{g}}^{1}}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$t = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2 s} \sqrt{g}}{{\sqrt{g}}^{1 + 1}}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

Rewrite ${\sqrt{g}}^{2}$ as $g$ .

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{g}$ as $g^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$t = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2 s} \sqrt{g}}{{(g^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}}$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$t = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2 s} \sqrt{g}}{g^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}}$

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$t = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2 s} \sqrt{g}}{g^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$t = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2 s} \sqrt{g}}{g^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$t = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2 s} \sqrt{g}}{g^{1}}$

Simplify.

$t = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2 s} \sqrt{g}}{g}$

Combine using the product rule for radicals.

$t = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2 s g}}{g}$

Step 7

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$t = \frac{\sqrt{2 s g}}{g}$

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$t = - \frac{\sqrt{2 s g}}{g}$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$t = \frac{\sqrt{2 s g}}{g}$

$t = - \frac{\sqrt{2 s g}}{g}$

$t = \frac{\sqrt{2 s g}}{g}$

$t = - \frac{\sqrt{2 s g}}{g}$

Solve for t s=1/2*(gt^2)
