factor
medals will be given

Answer 1

(5 + w) (1 + 4 w) == 0

Answer 2

@Plshlpme: Do you wanna learn how to solve this?

Answer 3

I always want to learn...but I go through steps on my assignment and I am still confused! :(

Answer 4

Sure! Do you know about the quadratic equation?

Answer 5

a little I just don't understand it too much. I try so hard to learn algebra and it is the one thing I can not conquer.

Answer 6

It's ok! It was tricky for me at first. Just gotta have someone explaining all the steps.

Answer 7

The formula is:

-b + and - squareroot(b squared - 4ac) all divided by 2a

Answer 8

Now, do you know where we get our a,b,c from?

Answer 9

BTW, I'm answering other questions at the same time and the site keeps freezing, so if you lose me, just post here so that I can get a notification and find your question.

Answer 10

no.

Answer 11

Alright, cool. Here we go: Your original question was:

Answer 12

4w^2 + 21w + 5

Answer 13

ook that's fine.

Answer 14

To make it less scary, we can change our w's into x's.

4x^2 + 21x + 5

Answer 15

The A value is always the number in FRONT of the x^2. The B is always the number in front of the x. And C is always that poor number at the end.

Answer 16

An important note:

x^2 does NOT have a zero in front, but instead, there's an invisible 1. So it's 1x^2.

But in this instance, we're working with
4x^2 + 21x + 5

So just keep that fact in mind for the future. So, what is our A,B,C for this question?

Answer 17

If it doesn't make sense, do let me know. I don't want to confuse you.

Answer 18

that kind of makes sense.
