Need to know how to solve, (432w+2592)/(w*w+12w+36) = ((432w)/(w*w))-1 answer is w= 54,48

\[{(432w+2592)\over(w^2+12w+36)} ~~~~= {{{(432w)}\over {(w^2)}}~~-1} \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
simplify the trinomial
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(432w+2592)/((w+6)^2)=(432-w^2)/(w^20
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay multiply EACH TERM by \[\frac{ \left(\begin{matrix}\\(w ^{2})(x+6)^{2} \end{matrix}\right) }{ 1}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but simplify by crossing out what yu can befor multiplying.

I got this but pretty sure it's wrong:
2592w^4+31104w^5+93312w^2 = -w^6 - 12w^4-36w^4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(w ^{2})(432w+2592)=(w+6)^{2}(432w)-(w ^{2})(w+6)^{2}\]
simplify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
unless thats what yu got already
OpenStudy (anonymous):
432w^3+2592w^2 = 432w^3+432w^2+15552w-w^4+12w^3+36w^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok the w+6 needs to be put back into the trinomial first

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so do (w^2)(w^2+12w+36) times each term?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no thats already been done. im talking about this part
432w^3+432w^2+15552w-w^4+12w^3+36w^2
did yu multiply the 432w by the trinomial?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay then simplify all.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
set it equal to zero or just simplify both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
get the w one one side. or yeah set to 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-w^4-12w^3-2196w^2+15552w=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can yu simplify more?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not that I know of
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a 'w'maybe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm not sure how to simplify it any further
OpenStudy (anonymous):
factor out the w.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so yu get
w(whatever you get in the parenthesis)=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
w(-1^4-12^3-2196^2+15552)=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no. the only thing that change is the exponents. they all go down by one.

w(-1^3-12^2-2196+15552)=0 is that what u mean?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no the w stay where they are.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the first term is -w^3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-w^3-12^2-2196w+15552=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
all w's stay. even on the ^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):
-w^3-12w^2-2196w+15552=0 That?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dont forget yur w( ) but keep factoring the polynomial.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
w(-w^3-12w^2-2196w+15552)=0 But how can I factor more than that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we can try factor by grouping right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know that method unless I call it something else..

OpenStudy (anonymous):
its algebra 1 factoring.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so divide the exponents by w?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait a min....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay yeah
w(-w^3-12w^2)(-2196w+15552)=0
and factor out the parenthesises
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do I distribute the w first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
no. take the set and factor it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
w(-w-12)(-2196+15552)=0 eh?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay lets just work on the first set of the parenthesis. (-w^3-12w^2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok, I'm not sure what to do if what I did before isn't right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yu should get
-w^2(w+12)

Sign Up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ah ok, that makes sense
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can yu do the second term?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
36(-61w+432) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right. now the -w^2 will be to the -36 so yu yuterms and -w^2-36 and(-61w+432) (w+12)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now do I combine them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
pretty much.but seperate them all by parenthesis.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-w^2-60w+408=0 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no.
w( -w^2-36)(-61w+432)(w+12)=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got it?
