18w^2??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let x=w^2 the eq becomes:x^2-18x-2=0 now solve this simple quadratic eq.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2-36w-2=0 am i right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the eq. becomes: (x-9)^2-81-2=0 (x-9)^2=83 (x-9)=+-sqrt(83) x=9+-sqrt(83) x=9-sqrt(83) is rejected w^2=9+sqrt(83) w=+-sqrt(9+sqrt(83))
