(4w-3)^2
what would be the answer to that?? please explain, i’m so confused.

16w^2  - 24w + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this, you would use the special product (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2. We can correlate this with the given term so that,

a = 4w

and

b = 3

Now we just substitute into a^2 - 2ab + b^2

(4w)^2 - 2(4w)(3) + (3)^2

16w^2  - 24w + 9

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
