Evaluate

w^{2} \times 16 w - 17

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

w^{2} \times 16 w

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

w^{2 + 1} \times 16

Add the numbers

w^{3} \times 16

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

16 w^{3}

16 w^{3} - 17

Show Solution

w = \frac{3 68}{4}

Alternative Form

w \approx 1.020414

Evaluate

w^{2} \times 16 w - 17

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

w^{2} \times 16 w - 17 = 0

Multiply the terms

w^{2} \times 16 w

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

w^{2 + 1} \times 16

Add the numbers

w^{3} \times 16

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

16 w^{3}

16 w^{3} - 17 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

16 w^{3} = 0 + 17

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

16 w^{3} = 17

Divide both sides

\frac{16 w ^{3}}{16} = \frac{17}{16}

Divide the numbers

w^{3} = \frac{17}{16}

Take the 3 -th root on both sides of the equation

3 w^{3} = 3 \frac{17}{16}

Calculate

w = 3 \frac{17}{16}
