I am struggling with certain types of factoring. I recognize there is a special situation, but don't understand how to factor it. For example
y2+24yw-36w
What's the procedure on determining how to factor this?
So the equation that you have is :
---------------(1)
I am taking it equal to zero to convert function into equation
Let's use the following method:
If the equation is:
Then y is given by:
In equation 1
we have a=1,b=24w,c=-36w
Hence we have
Hence The two factors are:
Hence eqn 1 can be written as:
This is your factorized equation.
I will like to comment that your equation looks bit different, it might be the case that you noted it wrong and actual equation might have been
then it will be even easy to solve either by this same method or some other method.
