Question

( w -1.5 )(w -1.5 ) = 352.25
find the square root of each side and solve for w. Show your work and both solutions. subtract 350 from both sides, and then factor the equation
for the first one one then factor if we change the equation so that it has a perfect square trinomial for the second one.

Answer 1

\[( w -1.5 )(w -1.5 ) = 352.25 \]

Answer 2

what is this
Show your work and both solutions. subtract 350 from both sides, and then factor the equation
for the first one one then factor if we change the equation so that it has a perfect square trinomial for the second one.

Answer 3

yeah but how should I factor it

Answer 4

sorry its my first time on something like this

Answer 5

so, did you know that
(w−1.5)(w−1.5)
can be written as (w-1.5)^2

Answer 6

no I didn't

Answer 7

thank you tho

Answer 8

okay, now you do, right
for example
3 times 3 times 3, can be written as 3^3
4x times itself 3 times, would be written as 4x^3

so, here, you can just write
(w-1.5)^2 =352.25
do you know how to get that square thing out?

Answer 9

hmm not really :v

Answer 10

okay, well if one side is squared, you can just square root it to get it off
sqrt((w-21.5)^2) = sqrt 352.25
so, w-1.5 = sqrt 352.25
can you put into your calculator, sqrt352.25

Answer 11

ok Ill do that

Answer 12

324

Answer 13

yes?

Answer 14

i mean square root 352.25
