What did you want mathematica to do?  If you wanted algebraic
simplification, then check out the various commands Simplify,
FullSimplify etc.

Do you want numeric or symbolic solutions.  If numeric, then NSolve or
FindRoot are your best bets. If symbolic, then Solve .

#1-to enter an expression as a "function", use :=,  ie.  F[t_]:=.....
#2-when entering equations in Solve, use == or === in your equalities.
