Q. Solve by completing the square.\newline3w2+42w33=0 -3 w^{2}+42 w-33=0 \newlineWrite your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.\newlinew= or w= w=\square \text { or } w= \square
  1. Write Equation Form: Write the equation in the form of aw2+bw=ca w^2 + b w = c. The given equation is 3w2+42w33=0-3 w^2 + 42 w - 33 = 0.
  2. Divide and Simplify: Divide the entire equation by 3-3 to simplify the coefficients.\newline3w2/3+42w/333/3=0/3-3w^2 / -3 + 42w / -3 - 33 / -3 = 0 / -3\newlinew214w+11=0w^2 - 14w + 11 = 0
  3. Move Constant Term: Move the constant term to the right side of the equation.\newlinew214w=11w^2 - 14w = -11
  4. Complete the Square: Find the value to complete the square.\newlineTake half of the coefficient of ww, square it, and add it to both sides of the equation.\newline(14/2)2=49(-14/2)^2 = 49\newlinew214w+49=11+49w^2 - 14w + 49 = -11 + 49\newlinew214w+49=38w^2 - 14w + 49 = 38
  5. Factor and Simplify: Factor the left side of the equation and simplify the right side.\newline(w7)2=38(w - 7)^2 = 38
  6. Take Square Root: Take the square root of both sides of the equation.\newline(w7)2=±38\sqrt{(w - 7)^2} = \pm\sqrt{38}\newlinew7=±38w - 7 = \pm\sqrt{38}
  7. Isolate Variable: Solve for ww by isolating the variable.w=7±38w = 7 \pm \sqrt{38}
  8. Calculate Approximate Values: Calculate the approximate decimal values of ww, rounded to the nearest hundredth.w7±6.16w \approx 7 \pm 6.16w7+6.16w \approx 7 + 6.16 or w76.16w \approx 7 - 6.16w13.16w \approx 13.16 or w0.84w \approx 0.84
