Factor completely. −64+w2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha is it (w+8) (w+8)

Nnesha (nnesha):

nope

Nnesha (nnesha):

-64 + w^2 can be written as \[w^2 - 64\] now difference of square method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(w +8)(w-8)

Nnesha (nnesha):

yep right :- )

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm (a^2 - b^2) = (a - b ) ( a + b)\] remmber this formula for difference of square

Nnesha (nnesha):

and also you can only use this method if there is negative sign like in this question - 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer is backwards...it needs to be (w-8) (w+8)?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yeb one parentheses suppose be negative and one positive because when you multiply (x-8)(x-8) you should get w^2 NEGATIVE 64 |dw:1425445498448:dw|
