Question

Simplify (44w + 2)(44w + 2)

Answer 1

Solve for w over the real numbers:
(2+44 w)^2 = 0
Eliminate the exponent.
Take the square root of both sides:
2+44 w = 0
Factor the left hand side.
Factor constant terms from the left hand side:
2 (1+22 w) = 0
Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides by 2:
1+22 w = 0
Isolate terms with w to the left hand side.
Subtract 1 from both sides:
22 w = -1
Solve for w.
Divide both sides by 22:
Answer: |
| w = -1/22

Answer 2

(44w + 2)(44w + 2)

1936w²+88w+88w+4
1936w²+176w+4
4(484w²+44w+1)
(4)(484w²+22w+22w+1)
(4) 22w(22w+1)+ 1(22w+1)

4(22w+1)(22w+1)
