Oh, what a happy little math problem we have here! To factor w^2 + 8w + 12, we're looking for two numbers that multiply to 12 and add up to 8. Those numbers are 2 and 6. So, we can rewrite the equation as (w + 2)(w + 6). Just like that, we've created a beautiful factorization!

How do you factor W2-8W-28?

That doesn't factor neatly. Applying the quadratic formula, we find two real solutions: 4 plus or minus 2 times the square root of 11x = 10.6332495807108x = -2.6332495807108

What is the factored form of w2 plus 18w plus 77?

w2+18w+77 = (w+7)(w+11) when factored


How do you factor trinomials?

you do 2 sets of parenthesis and check it. for example: w2(w squared)-7w-8 (w+1) (w-8) *if you add 1w and -8w you will get -7w, which is what they want you to get. and w & w multiply to get w2(w squared), which is also what the factoring wants. another example: 3w2 (3w squared)+2-8 (3w-4) (w+2) *same thing applies with 3w x w = 3w2, and -4 +2=2, which is the answer. use this theory in all of them, unless there is a greatest common factor (GCF).

How do you solve w2 plus 49 equals 0?

If by w2 you mean "w squared", then it cannot be done. BECAUSE w2 + 49 = 0 w2 +49 - 49 = 0 - 49 w2 = -49 w2 means a number multiplied by itself. Any number multplied by itself will result in a POSITIVE number. positive x positive = positive negative x negative = negatve


Need the work and answer for this math problem w2 plus 30 w plus 81 using vocabulary words factor gfc prime factor perfect square and grouping?

The grouping of the factors of w^2 + 30w + 81 (a perfect square) is (w + 27) and (w + 3)3 is a prime factor of 27, 30 and 81 but without two terms to compare, there won't be a GCF (not gfc)


How do you factor 36v2-w2?

There is a formula for the "difference of squares." In this case, the answer is (6v + w)(6v - w)
