Find the roots
w1=−7,w2=−3
Evaluate
(w+7)(w+3)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(w+7)(w+3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
w+7=0w+3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
w+7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
w=0−7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
w=−7
w=−7w+3=0
