Move to one side: First, let's move everything to one side to set the equation to zero.10w2+45w−7=0
Factor or use formula: Now, we need to factor this quadratic equation, but it doesn't factor nicely. So, let's use the quadratic formula instead.w=2a−b±b2−4acHere, a=10, b=45, and c=−7.
Plug values into formula: Plug the values into the quadratic formula.w=2(10)−(45)±(45)2−4(10)(−7)
Simplify square root: Simplify inside the square root. w=20−45±2025+280
Add solutions: Add up the numbers under the square root. w=20−45±2305
Add solutions: Add up the numbers under the square root.w=20−45±2305Now, let's simplify the square root. But wait, 2305 isn't a perfect square, so we can't simplify it further. We'll just leave it under the square root.w=20−45±2305
Add solutions: Add up the numbers under the square root.w=20−45±2305Now, let's simplify the square root. But wait, 2305 isn't a perfect square, so we can't simplify it further. We'll just leave it under the square root.w=20−45±2305So, we have two solutions for w, one with the plus and one with the minus.w1=20−45+2305w2=20−45−2305
