Just need to check an answer please!:)

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

\[25w ^{2}-60w+36\]

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

haan.. what did you get?? that is omega or w?

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

w

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

\[(5w-6)^{2}\]

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

i got tht^

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

sahi jawaab....!!

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

yayyy!!! kya mei ek aur pooch sakti?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

yes.. shoot!!

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

hello?

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

apoorvk?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

hmm go on ask.

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

k \[9a ^{2}+42a-49\]

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

i got \[(3a-7)(3a+7)\]

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Niet... wrong answer!!! i think you ll have to use the quadratic formula for that (provided you didnt post the question wrongly)

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

i cant use quadratic formula!!! i havent gotten there yet! im factoring!!

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

the discriminant (b^2 -4ac) isn't a whole square (but will be '0' if that '-49' in the question is a '+49'. any ways if you notice your answer is in the form of (a+b)(a-b) which if you have learnt, simplifies to ---> a^2 - b^2

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

say wha...?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

which is definitely not the question asked. (you can always use back calculation to verify your answer!)

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

you have read abt discriminants??

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

im an Algebra 1 student not a great genius like u!

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

:D

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

|dw:1332797246398:dw| I am NOT a genius. I have no idea what Algebra-I consists of! (but I 'll take it its pretty elementary for now) now.. are you sure the question you posted is right?? if yes, do you want to learn the quadratic formula because otherwise this thing is not factorisable!
