Answer 2

As a first step, you factor w out of -2w^3 + 16w^2+ 100^w
Then that factored w will cancel out the division by w leaving you with the answer.

Answer 3

i have no idea what to do

Answer 4

Do you know how to factor, for example, 2 out of 2x + 4 ?

Answer 5

yea i know how to factor out the w but I dont see how that will help me

Answer 6

Tell me what you get when you factor out w.

Answer 7

w(-2w^2+16w+100)

Answer 8

Good. Now divide that by w. The w in the denominator will cancel out the w in the factor above.

Answer 9

w(-2w^2+16w+100) / w = ?

Answer 10

-2w^2+16w+100

Answer 11

Yes!!
