Question

hello how do I do this: 8w-2w(to the 2nd power, computer wont let me input power)-6 divided by w-1

Answer 1

Is the whole expression 8w - 2w to be squared? Or is it just the w?

Answer 2

If it is (8w - 2w)^2, then (8 - 2w)^2 = (6w)^2 = 36w^2

Answer 3

hi sorry just the w

Answer 4

Actually, it appears you are asking what 8w - 2w^2 -6 divided by w - 1 is.


-2w + 6
________________
w - 1 | -2w^2 + 8w - 6
-( -2w^2 +2w)
____________
6w - 6
-(6w - 6)
________
0

Answer 5

Alternatively, -2w^2 + 8w - 6 = -2(w^2 -4w +3)
= -2(w - 3)(w - 1)

If you multiply the -2 by w - 3, you get -2w + 6, the same as we got by long division.

Answer 6

Is this the actual problem you need help with, or did I misread your question?

Answer 7

the answer was -2w+10+ 4/w-1 using long division according to another site. I will rework my long division to ck.. thnks
